Our Mission

The mission of SDJCA is to provide the environment, resources, structure and opportunities to educate children in the Catholic tradition in order to develop them as responsible, educated citizens and active members of the Catholic Church. SDJCA will strive to instill in each child the pillars of their faith; the need for charity and service; the importance of liturgy, prayer and sacraments; and a knowledge of their culture, history and technology in an environment of academic excellence.

Academic Excellence

Students are inspired to achieve their academic potential through a curriculum enriched with art, music, technology and athletics.

Service

Students are nurtured to build community and reach out to others with respect as disciples of Christ.
