Curriculum
Our SCES academic curriculum meets or exceeds California State Standards, Los Angeles Archdiocesan Religion Standards, and Common Core State Standards (CCSS) guidelines. As SCES believes in "educating the whole child", in addition to the core academic curriculum, SCES employs additional Enrichment Teachers and provides all students with the following: Science/Technology/Engineering/Math (STEM) instruction, Physical Education classes, an Art program, a Music/Choir program, and Spanish language classes. We also offer numerous extra-curricular activities, altar serving and All-Catholic Schools League team sports for students in Grades 5-8.
Religion is taught as an academic subject in all grades, and Catholic doctrine is emphasized in all areas of instruction, as well as in attitudes and conflict resolution on the playground. Students attend Mass every week with their class and receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation once a year. Prayer services and School Masses are held on several special occasions throughout the year for students and families.
SCES has again earned the maximum term of accreditation from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and the Western Catholic Educators Association (WCEA).
