School Notes

Founded and operated by the Dominican Sisters of Mission San Jose, St. Catherine&apos&aposs is a private, Catholic boys academy located in beautiful Southern California just minutes away from Disneyland, Knotts Berry Farm, and the beach. Located on a secure 8 acre campus, SCMA is committed to guiding each boy to his fullest potential.
Our military program strives to instill in our cadets leadership, confidence, honor, courage, commitment, responsibility, compassion, and respect. A SCMA cadet places a high value on personal integrity and adherence to the honor code. The structure and consistency of this program enables our boys to find confidence, success, and self esteem.
Our ESL program provides for the educational and emotional needs of our international students. This program helps each cadet grow in his mastery of the English language while experiencing the culture and diversity within the United States.
As a boys&apos&apos school, we recognize the importance of a strong mind and a strong body. Our spacious campus includes a football field, an obstacle course, an indoor heated pool, and gymnasium as well as award winning sports teams.
As a boys&apos&apos school for more than 100 years, we continually keep on top of educating boys. Our primary and middle classes, Kindergarten to Grade Five, are structured in differentiated courses. Kindergarten is a separate class while grades 1-3 share a combined class as do grades 4-5. This structure allows the boys to excel at their rate while giving the teachers the time to advance and challenge them while also assisting students who need more time.
In our Residency Program, the Dominican Sisters who serve as Residential Care Providers give the priceless gift of love and guidance as each cadet grows toward maturity. Our Residential Care Providers live in the dorms, providing security and comfort in a nurturing environment. The friendships formed at SCMA last a lifetime.
