Forged in the City. Formed by Christ. Ready for the World.

Pacifica is an independent Christian high school uniquely positioned in the heart of Santa Monica—just 18 blocks from the Pacific Ocean, along the vibrant Wilshire corridor.

Our location isn’t just a backdrop. It’s an essential part of the education we offer.

In a city defined by creativity, innovation, and diversity, Pacifica students grow in independence. They are entrusted with real responsibility and develop the grit, wisdom, and perseverance needed to flourish in today’s world. The city becomes an extension of the classroom, offering daily opportunities for learning, reflection, and character formation.

Whether moving between campuses, grabbing lunch at a local café, heading to practice, or engaging the wider community, our students are constantly in motion—learning to navigate both place and purpose.

A Two-Campus experience

Pacifica operates on a two-campus model intentionally designed to foster independence and real-world readiness.

Our Main Campus on 18th Street and our Seawolf Campus on 20th Street work together to support the full Pacifica experience. Both campuses are active throughout the day, serving as spaces for academic learning, student life, and community gathering. Upperclassmen regularly move between campuses throughout the day—learning to manage their time, navigate their environment, and take ownership of their experience.

This freedom is purposeful. Students are guided by mentors, supported by a deeply relational community, and trusted to rise to the responsibility set before them. Safety and security remain a top priority, ensuring students can grow with confidence.

The result is an experience that more closely mirrors college, where independence, accountability, and initiative are essential. Students leave Pacifica not only prepared academically, but equipped to engage professors, build relationships, and confidently step into any college environment.
