Give Your Son The Best At SCA!
Outstanding
St. Catherine's Academy offers an outstanding academic program guided by the Common Core standards. We are especially proud of our commitment to technology, individualized learning, and boy-centered academics.
Focused for Boys
While there are numerous private schools in Orange County,
St. Catherine’s Academy stands alone as the only all-boys
institution serving students from transitional kindergarten through eighth grade. Our dedicated all-boys program allows SCA to cater uniquely to the specific educational needs of your son.
Our educators recognize that boys' learning processes differ from girls', particularly during early education stages. By utilizing research-backed best practices, our teachers craft engaging lessons designed to immerse your son in knowledge acquisition through hands-on activities, collaborative projects, and field trips.
Dedicated Faculty & Personalized Attention
Boasting a favorable student-to-faculty ratio of 8:1 and an average class size of 13, your son will experience the advantage of personalized attention. Our compassionate faculty strives relentlessly to help each student reach his fullest potential. As valued partners in your son's educational journey, you can anticipate outstanding communication with both teachers and administration.
Exceptional Academics: Core Subjects and Beyond!
SCA's academic program surpasses California state standards across all core subjects, complemented by an array of enrichment classes and extracurricular activities. Your son will have access to enriching classes in music, physical education, Spanish, and art. Additionally, he can engage in extracurricular activities such as sports, peer leadership, piano, guitar, and competitive drill team. Uniquely among Orange County private TK-8 academies, St. Catherine’s Academy also offers a marching band program.
Beyond Academic Excellence
At SCA, we value academics, but we also believe in the holistic development of each child, extending beyond textbooks and classroom instruction. As an independent Catholic school with a military tradition, we're unique among Orange County private schools. We nurture spiritual growth in every child, regardless of their faith, and our military tradition provides a distinctive approach to leadership and character development, creating a conducive environment for boys to excel.
