Faith formation

Our faith-filled staff provide a rich catechesis that is both academic and lived.  The students have a variety of ways to develop their relationship with God that is both communal and personal.  Students receive many opportunities to be active disciples through their care, concern and service to others.  We are also committed to faith formation within the home, providing parents with a variety of opportunities to grow in their faith.

 

Whole Person

It is essential for young learners to be formed in all areas of life: spiritual, academic, social, physical. We provide opportunities to grow in these areas in and outside the classroom with a variety of clubs, sports, extra-curricular activities, writing and art contests that help students develop their gifts and talents. Students develop their leadership skills so that they can show others by their words and deeds what it means to influence others for the “good.”

Safety

Safety is a concern we all share. Regarding physical safety, we have a fence around the school premises as well as safety drills which are practiced on a regular basis. We also have systems in place to address other personal safety concerns. We address issues that may arise in a timely manner. All teachers have a discipline plan that follows St. John Bosco’s preventive method: religion, reason and kindness. We have counselors on staff through Counselor Partners of Los Angeles.

Family environment

As a community of faith, we are always striving to create a family-like environment where all feel welcomed, respected, encouraged and cared-for.  When someone is struggling or suffering, we find ways to lighten their burden especially through our prayerful support.  We take a genuine interest in the other by listening attentively.
