Welcome to Santa Clara! Our mission is to support the full growth of every student in a bilingual community of academic excellence and Catholic values.

A Well-Rounded Student Experience

Students at SCCA benefit from rigorous academics designed to develop critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration. Our programs encourage curiosity while building the knowledge and skills students need to succeed in high school and beyond.

Instruction at SCCA

At Santa Clara of Assisi we offer a strong dual-language academic program to form our students as saints and scholars, and to prepare them for the college or career of their choice. Our focus this year is on student engagement and building strong PLCs to support first instruction in Reading and Math. We use data to drive instruction and provide tiered support through our MTSS process.

Grounded in
Faith and Tradition

Our Catholic values are the center of our identity as a school community. Our weekly celebration of the Mass unites us as a school community. On days when we do not have Mass, students have religion class where they learn about the Catholic faith, values, and traditions, and where they are prepared to receive the sacraments. Our school identity and culture are rooted in passing on Catholic values to the next generation.

Athletics and Activities

Through athletic competition, students can develop greater knowledge of their physical potential, the self-confidence that comes from exceeding personal limits, and a deeper understanding of the joys and responsibilities of being part of a team. A strong collaboration among coaches, players, parents, and staff results in the best experience for all students. Through competition, athletes learn goal setting, unselfishness, personal sacrifice, self-discipline, and winning and losing with grace.
