WHY WE GIVE

Each year, the Pacifica Fund raises vital dollars to support the heart of our school. Like most private schools, Pacifica runs a budget gap between tuition revenue and total operating costs. The Pacifica Fund, generously supported by parents, alumni, staff, and community members, is critical to helping us bridge that gap.

Your Giving Supports Pacifica Distinctives 

Student Formation
Our mission to teach students to think and live well comes to life through dynamic programs such as the All-School Retreat, Pacifica Chapel, Seawolf Athletics, and mental health support.

Excellent Academic Offerings
Through signature programs such as PACARTS, the Minchin Center for Innovation + Entrepreneurship, STEM Scholars, and the Pacifica Center for Philosophy & Theology, students gain life-building skills that prepare them for the future.

Financial Aid
our gift helps keep Pacifica a school for students from every neighborhood, making it possible for 40% of our students to access a college-preparatory, private Christian education.

Faculty Development
Our teachers are the heart of Pacifica, dedicating over 2,500 combined hours each year to professional development. We are deeply committed to investing in them, so they are equipped and inspired to help students reach their highest academic goals.

NEW SCIENCE LAB AND LOCKER ROOMS

This year, we are raising $500,000 to fund two important capital projects: a new science lab and new men’s and women’s locker rooms, with construction anticipated to begin in summer 2027. Our goal is to have the necessary funds raised by February 2027 so we can move forward with these projects.

These new spaces will provide our students with enhanced facilities for hands-on learning, athletics, teamwork, and community. They represent an important next step in building out the Seawolf Campus and creating an environment where our students can learn, compete, and thrive.

WE ARE MOVED INTO THE SEAWOLF CAMPUS

Thanks to the remarkable generosity of Pacifica’s families, supporters, and school community, we moved into the Seawolf Campus in January 2026. This incredible milestone brought our vision for a two-campus model along Wilshire Boulevard to life and created new opportunities for our students and school community.

Today, the Seawolf Campus is a vibrant part of the Pacifica experience. Moving between campuses, engaging with the city around them, and embracing greater independence, our students are experiencing an education that extends beyond the classroom and into the heart of Santa Monica.

We are incredibly grateful to everyone whose generosity helped make this vision a reality.
