Our Mission

Our Mission is to provide a Catholic, college-prep, middle school education to low-income students from Southeast San Diego.  Through a comprehensive Graduate Support Program, we help our students get into and succeed at a top regional high school and then matriculate to college or university.  In partnership with our families, we are committed to each student’s total development—academic, social, physical, spiritual, and emotional—by emphasizing serious study and personal and social responsibility.

Our Vision is that our students succeed in high school, college, and beyond, and that they become role models and leaders in their communities.

Our Philosophy is built on the Jesuit idea of cura personalis, care for the whole person, including the academic, social, physical, spiritual, and emotional. Only with this noble, integrated, classic approach in mind can we accomplish our lofty mission and graduate young persons of character and intellect sufficient enough to ensure that they will become college graduates and—most importantly—caring, competent persons for others, role models and leaders in their families and in their communities.
