For more than 70 years, Santa Catalina School has been shaping confident, compassionate, and purpose-driven students on the Monterey Peninsula. Rooted in values of courage, grace, respect, and service, Santa Catalina offers a deeply personal educational experience where students are encouraged to grow not only academically, but also as thoughtful leaders and engaged community members. At the heart of the school’s mission is a steadfast belief in every student’s potential and a commitment to helping each child feel seen, supported, and inspired.

Santa Catalina’s Lower and Middle School programs serve boys and girls from PreK through Grade 8 in a nurturing environment where curiosity and creativity thrive. Its Upper School, an all-girls day and boarding program for Grades 9–12, empowers young women to become confident learners and compassionate leaders prepared to make a meaningful impact in the world. Through strong relationships, student-centered learning, and a focus on integrity and belonging, Santa Catalina continues to cultivate a community where students are encouraged to become the truest version of themselves.
