    From Santa Catalina School

    Set against the scenic California coast in Monterey, Santa Catalina School is where you can discover the true you. Our all-girls boarding and day school is where inspired, powerful, active learning happens—in the classroom, on the field or the stage, and in the dorms. Catalina girls take ownership of their academics—including a marine ecology program that takes advantage of Monterey Bay—and they pursue their passions. The Catalina experience is about asking deeper questions, taking braver chances, and making bolder mistakes; it’s about our students becoming leaders that impact their communities and the world around them. True sisterhood creates a Catalina community that is fueled by curiosity, kindness, and confidence.

    Marine Ecology Research Program at Catalina

    academic spotlight

    Sitting just two miles from the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, our signature program allows students to take full advantage of our location and its great educational value. With an emphasis on experiential learning, students will be in and around the ocean, doing research, learning by observation, testing hypotheses, and experimenting in the very environment they are studying.
