CONNECT TO OUR MISSION & VALUES

Joy in Learning * Integration of Faith & Learning * Academic Rigor * Authentic Relationships * Student Formation * Courage & Vision 

At Pacifica, we believe education is about building lives. We want to help form young men and women who know how to think and live well, students who seek truth, develop character, practice courage, care for others, and understand that their lives are about more than achievement.

We want our graduates to leave Pacifica not simply asking, “What can I accomplish?” but also, “Who am I becoming, and what am I here to do?”

Come discover the kind of life we are trying to build together. The best way to understand Pacifica is to experience it up close. Come meet the people who make our school what it is. Pay attention to the little things, the way students interact with one another, the questions they ask, the relationships they have with their teachers, and the energy of our community.

See what formation and vision look like.

LEAN INTO OUR ACADEMIC CULTURE

Pacifica is an academically ambitious school. Our goal is not simply to give students information, but to develop curious, capable, thoughtful young people who know how to learn, think critically, and engage big ideas.

Our academic culture integrates faith and learning and challenges students to wrestle with the questions that matter. Great teachers know their students, challenge them, encourage them, and invite them to go further. That formation opens doors.

Pacifica graduates are earning admission to outstanding colleges and universities across the country, but college acceptance is not the ultimate measure of our success. We want students to be prepared not only to get into college, but to flourish once they get there and in life beyond it. Learn more.

We want them to be the very best young woman or young man on their college campus.

LEARN ABOUT OUR PROGRAMS

There are many ways to find your place at Pacifica. Explore our Arts, Athletics, clubs, leadership opportunities, travel programs, all-school retreat, service, and student-life experiences. Come to a game. See a musical. Attend a concert. Visit an athletic practice. Talk with a student about a club or trip.

Some students discover their community in a classroom. Others find it on the volleyball court, on a stage, in a club, traveling with friends, or serving someone in need.

Come experience the breadth of Pacifica life.

EXPLORE OUR CAMPUS

Pacifica's location is more than an address. We are situated along the historic Wilshire corridor in Santa Monica, just blocks from the Pacific Ocean and in the heart of one of Los Angeles' most dynamic and diverse communities. 

Our urban campus model is part of how we educate. Students move between campuses, walk through the city, grab lunch at a local café, head to practice, engage with the wider community, and learn to navigate the world around them. The city becomes an extension of the classroom. It creates opportunities for independence, formation, connection, and fun.

Our students are learning not only how to navigate a place, but how to navigate the world, with wisdom, confidence, responsibility, and purpose.

Come explore Pacifica and experience our city for yourself.

COME SEE FOR YOURSELF

The admissions process should be about more than checking boxes.

It should be about discovering whether a school is the right community for your child and your family.

So this year, come meet our people, sit in our classrooms, watch our students compete and perform, hear from our teachers and leadership, talk with our parents, walk our campuses, and ask important questions. 

And then, if you find yourself thinking, “I can see my child here,” we invite you to take the next step. Come to an open house.

Discover Pacifica. Experience Pacifica. Apply to Pacifica.
