ARCHBISHOP SALVATORE CORDILEONE T

his annual guide will acquaint you with one of the great resources in our Archdiocese: the fourteen excellent high schools that grace our three counties. I encourage everyone to acquaint themselves with the fine programs these schools offer, for they deserve the support of all of us. But I especially invite our young people and their parents to study the information provided about each school in this special supplement.

When making the very important decision about which high school to attend, you are looking for a learning environment that combines academic excellence, individual attention, and a setting which instills faith and virtue in its students and encourages them to assist those most in need in our community. Our Catholic high schools excel in this integrated vision of academic, spiritual, and human formation.

While the college years are very important, I believe that it is in the high school years that a young person establishes the habits that will assure success in college; more importantly, it is in those formative years that character is shaped and foundational values are determined. I suspect that for most adults, when we look back over our educational formation, it will be a teacher in high school who will have had the most impact on our personal growth. The exemplary teachers in our high schools are not only dedicated educators; they are role models for the students they so generously serve.

The fourteen schools in the Archdiocese offer a variety of learning situations – some large, some small, some co-educational and others not – so parents are blessed to have different options to consider that best meet the needs of their son or daughter. I urge you to study this supplement, and perhaps visit the schools that most interest you. Along with a careful examination of the various options available, pray for the guidance of the Holy Spirit as you make this very important decision. I will hope to see you in the future at one of our fine schools.

Assuring you of my prayers and very best wishes, I remain, Sincerely yours in our Lord,

Most Reverend Salvatore Cordileone Archbishop of San Francisco

After completing my first year at Gonzaga, I’ve realized how much Riordan is a transformative place. It helped me to understand the world we live in while emphasizing opportunities, not limitations. I’m still exploring what I am capable of, and thanks to Riordan, I’m going to keep trying.

My classmates’ kindness inspired me to be more generous, their talent and creativity humbled me, their thoughts and opinions helped expand the way I look at the world. They helped me to grow into a woman of confidence who knows no limits.

As the new Admissions Coordinator, I am inspired to bring the values I learned at Notre Dame to each new incoming class. I developed a strong moral character, a sense of tradition, and an intellectual curiosity to inspire positive change. I am Notre Dame!

Stuart Hall wasn’t just a school where I was educated, it was a community where I found purpose.

Every experience I had was about gaining insight into my character, my passion and my place in the world.

I felt prepared, not only for college, but for life.

Community! Personal and deep relationships between the most amazing people who made up SHP faculty and administrators, coaches, classmates, and families allowed me to find value in connecting with others and treating others with respect, kindness, and support.

At Priory, the innovation among students and faculty makes it a wonderful learning environment. It’s OK to ask questions, take risks and have new ideas. The curriculum, especially in theology, allowed me to learn about and have respect for different faiths and cultures.

CATHOLIC SAN FRANCISCO | SEPTEMBER 13, 2013

ABOUT US

For 125 years, the educational mission of the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Jesus has thrived in San Francisco through the Schools of the Sacred Heart.

Convent of the Sacred Heart High School & Stuart Hall High School are the older siblings within our family of independent, Catholic schools, each committed to educate to: a personal and active faith in God, a deep respect for intellectual values, a social awareness that compels to action, the building of community as a Christian value and personal growth in an atmosphere of wise freedom.

Our students find a challenging curriculum that provides them with a strong foundation to meet the demands of highly competitive college entrance. They find single-sex classrooms in a co-ed environment, which is unique in San Francisco; they find a community that gives them the confidence to think critically and reflect thoughtfully on the big questions in life; they find accomplished faculty who help them achieve and grow.

But most of all, our students find a launching pad to a life bursting with potential, with meaning, with purpose.

SIBLING HIGH SCHOOLS

Single-sex classes within a co-ed community. Current research tells us what we are able to see on our campuses everyday: Our students feel comfortable, focused and free to learn in our small, single-sex classes. And while we respect the formative differences between young men and young women, we also respect their need to grow alongside each other as social and intellectual peers. So you will find that some of our Advanced Placement and World Language classes are co-ed, and you will find our guys and girls getting together for service projects, for electives, for basketball games, for theater performances— and all of the other things that make high school so much fun.

OUR CURRICULUM

“My child has blossomed here, and not just academically.

She’s so capable and confident. She’s become a true leader and has really found her voice.”

– CONVENT OF THE SACRED HEART HIGH SCHOOL PARENT

Our students engage in serious study and have a lot of fun doing it.

The academic programs at Convent & Stuart Hall provide students with the knowledge, cognitive skills and sense of self to succeed in college and life. This year, for example, some classes experimented with iPad applications to help with their studies. Convent High School students in the Conservation Biology of the Redwoods course gave original research to biologists to use in their database. Stuart Hall students in AP Environmental Science learned how to identify and analyze environmental principles and problems in theory, and were then given a chance to dig a little deeper during environmental service projects. A newly expanded elective program allows students to participate in instrumental music, photography, journalism and many other endeavors—some of which are co-ed—during the regular school day. All the while, our students benefit from innovative instruction developed by faculty who understand how to meet students wherever they are.

ATHLETICS & ACTIVITIES

Our students want to get in the game. Through athletics, fine and performing arts and clubs, our students have many chances to get involved— and stand out. The Convent Cubs and Stuart Hall Knights each field more than a dozen varsity and junior varsity sport teams and are competitive in the independent high school Bay Counties League West. We also offer seven sports teams that are co-ed. Students on each campus run service projects, produce dramas and musicals, write for their school newspapers, join clubs, form bands and lead their student governments. Our students work hard together and excel together.

THE NETWORK OF SACRED HEART SCHOOLS

Small classes, big community, bigger world. The Network of Sacred Heart Schools has 23 member schools in the United States and more than 140 worldwide. This allows for our students to participate in service programs, group workshops and exchanges all over the world. The international character of Sacred Heart education brings global awareness home to our students.

Wherever our students go, they find an enriched understanding of themselves, their place in the world and their concept of family.

“This school is giving my child an incredible education and turning him into a great human being. He’s already making wise decisions about who he wants to become.”

JUNIPERO SERRA HIGH SCHOOL 451 West 20th Avenue, San Mateo, CA 94403 www.serrahs.com

PROFILE

For 70 years, Junípero Serra High School has proudly served the young men of San Mateo County and beyond. An outstanding, all-boys Catholic college preparatory located in San Mateo—in the heart of the Peninsula between San Francisco and Silicon Valley—Serra is a place where classmates become brothers and teachers become mentors. New Padres will find teachers, staff, and classmates who will embrace and support them as they explore interests in a variety of areas—academics, athletics, clubs, student government, social activities, and service learning experiences—all in the context of our core values of faith, wisdom, service, community, and leadership.

Grounded in Catholic tradition, Serra strives to ensure that every graduate will be a man who gives of himself to others. Our students don’t just learn about spirituality and service—they live it. Our exceptional Campus Ministry program is at the heart of all we do, and our service learning program helps students put their faith into action locally, nationally, and around the globe.

Students are required to perform 80 hours of Christian service during their four years of high school, but most of our recent graduating seniors exceeded the minimum requirement, some logging several hundred hours. Together, the Class of 2013 performed more than 44,000 hours of Christian service.

ACADEMIC RIGOR

PROFILE

Mercy San Francisco has been sponsored by the Sisters of Mercy since 1952.

Mercy is an all-girls school which offers not only rigorous academics, enriching co-curricular and athletic opportunities but a school that is connected to its larger surroundings of San Francisco. Our students receive a real world education which prepares them to be active, responsible, and successful global citizens. This unique education is offered in a nurturing environment that challenges students to become their best selves and to develop not only their own self-confidence but to develop an authentic compassion toward others. A Mercy girl dreams big, is wildly successful yet remembers that she is a part of something much larger – a worldwide network of Mercy sisters.

THE FOUR PILLARS OF A MERCY EDUCATION

ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE: Our college preparatory curriculum prepares young women to be successful in a 21st century global society. Our block schedule and increased emphasis on technology foster a classroom environment where girls learn best. Our premiere programs Women in Medicine and Women in the Arts offer qualified students enhanced learning opportunities beyond the traditional classroom. Intersession is an enrichment program of experiential learning beyond the classroom and into the greater community... non-academic in nature but educational in focus... a time to meet new friends and build community. We offer 20 Honors and AP classes which allow our students to be challenged as they prepare for the university experience. Ninety-nine percent of our students attend college throughout the U.S. and beyond. Our counseling staff works closely with students and families alike to navigate the path to college and investigate scholarship opportunities that help them make the best choice for their family.

INTEGRITY: “If we love God, we will undoubtedly love our neighbor also; they are as cause and effect” (Venerable Catherine McAuley, foundress of the Sisters of Mercy). Our service learning program offers rich opportunities to develop moral character and social responsibility.

Students have the opportunity to develop relationships with local nonprofit organizations. These experiences create an awareness of and solidarity with the disadvantaged of the world, especially women and children. In this way, we embrace our multicultural and international reality. Our campus ministry program encourages students to celebrate their faith by developing a personal relationship with God, their local community, and our global society through retreats, immersion trips, and school-wide liturgies.

LEADERSHIP: “When girls go to single-sex schools, they stop being the audience and become the players” (Myra and David Sadker, Education researchers and authors of “Failing at Fairness: How America’s Schools Cheat Girls”). At Mercy, we offer myriad opportunities for students to develop their leadership potential through choreographing a dance piece, being a tech or stage director for the Performing Arts, through athletics, as well as through community service. In this way, students are encouraged to be servant leaders to their community.

SISTERHOOD: Whether it is in the classroom, on the stage, on the court or out in the community, our students show a true solidarity with one another.

To become a part of the Mercy community means to be accepted as a valued member of the circle of Mercy. Our young women grow to be true women making a difference in the world and they do it while forming friendships that will last a lifetime.

SI strives to develop young women and men of competence, conscience, and compassion; to develop students who strive toward the Jesuit ideal of the magis: a thirst for the more, for the greater good, for the most courageous response to the challenges of our time in the fullest development of students’ talents, and for a lifelong disposition to serve. We encourage students to go outside their comfort zone and discover new skills and passions.

We seek to mirror the wonderfully diverse region that we serve. SI is committed to diversity of all sorts—ethnic, geographic, religious, and socio-economic.

CURRICULUM & CO-CURRICULUM

On average, SI students score 100 points higher on the SAT verbal section and 75 points higher on the math section compared to California and U.S. averages. Our AP program, in which our students can earn college credit while still at SI, is among the top 1% in the U.S. More important than test scores is the joy, passion, and growth students experience in their courses. The knowledge and skills they acquire lead to wisdom, understanding, and action.

Our students shine in the classroom, on the stage, on the playing field, and in countless service agencies throughout the city where they volunteer their time and talent. The co-curricular life of the student is just as important as math and English lessons.

SI’s Campus Ministry Program helps the school live up to the Jesuit idea of cura personalis (care for the whole person). Through an extensive and comprehensive student retreat program, which serves more than 98% of the student body, we seek to help students grow spiritually, to connect them to the divine, and to help them love as Christ loved, by serving those who need help the most.

THE PRIORY MISSION

Woodside Priory School is an independent, Catholic, college preparatory school in the Benedictine tradition. The Priory’s mission is to assist students of promise in becoming lifelong learners and stewards who will productively serve a world in need of their gifts. The core Benedictine values of Spirituality, Integrity, Individuality, Hospitality, and Community are central to the Priory’s mission.

OVERVIEW

The Priory is a coeducational, college preparatory school that includes the Middle School for grades six through eight and the Upper School for the freshman through senior years of high school.

A challenging curriculum, combined with a program of interscholastic sports, extra-curricular activities, cultural events and service to community, provides an atmosphere encouraging growth in the personal, intellectual, physical and spiritual aspects of a young person’s life. Through the Chapel program, students and faculty gather weekly to experience a sense of spiritual community within a Catholic environment.

The Priory’s student community is unique among Bay Area Catholic schools as it provides a boarding program for fifty students in the Upper School, fostering community living within a family environment. Students from throughout the Bay Area, as well as from the US and the world, consider the boarding experience as an exciting opportunity. Seamless interaction between boarders and day students adds a diversity of global cultures within the student community.

The Priory’s campus has outstanding educational facilities and a location unsurpassed in natural beauty – fifty acres of woods in rural Portola Valley, forty minutes south of San Francisco and five miles west of Stanford University.

PHILOSOPHY AND CURRICULUM

Priory students are challenged to engage in a complete range of educational experience, demonstrating intellectual inquiry, knowledge of human history and culture, and clear thinking, speaking and writing.

Critical thinking, study skills and research skills are integrated into all academic disciplines.

The Priory’s curriculum prepares all students to meet the admission requirements of the University of California and other highly regarded colleges. Students develop a strong academic base in skills and knowledge, with a special emphasis on math-science, writing and research skills training.

The Priory’s strengths include: • Twenty Advanced Placement courses, in addition to honors and a wide range of elective choices.

• Community service is integrated into student life and the curriculum.

Students complete a significant, individually planned service learning experience. Many go far beyond the program with club and class activities.

• Advanced technology and a totally wireless campus are supported through the use of technology that is integrated across the curriculum.

• Over 40 faculty-supervised co-curricular activities are offered within the school day that provide opportunities for students to discover talents and develop skills.

• Priory Upper School students are engaged in a four-year retreat program centering on their spirituality and faith journey within the context of Benedictine values and community life.

The small school environment, small class size and 9-to-1 student-teacher ratio create a strong, interactive academic environment in which individual strengths are encouraged.

Superintendent of Catholic Schools

W

elcome back to a new school year! I am always amazed at how quickly summer vacation comes to an end. Our eighth graders are gearing up for one of the busiest times in their young lives. The process of selecting the right Catholic high school to attend is both exciting and scary. Soon our eighth graders will be registering for the High School Placement Test, shadowing at our high schools trying to get a feel for each high school. In March the registration process begins. Selecting the right combination of students’ needs, talents, and interests with a high school that can meet all of these varying needs is a huge challenge.

Fortunately, we are blessed with a variety of excellent high schools where each student can find a place that feels like home. Each of our Catholic high schools is unique in culture and environment. They are deeply committed to teaching and living the values of our Catholic faith. The commitment toward academic excellence is evident at each campus and in each classroom.

Each Catholic high school is unique in size, culture, charism, and environment. Students are treasured for their individuality, talents, and interests. The teachers and administrators at each school work closely with parents to make sure each student receives the attention they need to be academically successful, and the support and encouragement they need to grow and mature into faith-filled adults. This ethical and moral formation provides our young people with the foundation they need to grow into adults with strong moral decision-making skills.

Seriously consider a Catholic High School for your son or daughter. These four years of high school will all make a world of difference to your child.

WHY CHOOSE A CATHOLIC SCHOOL?

HOW CAN I GET THE MOST SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT FOR MY CHILD DURING THE NEXT FOUR YEARS? The community environment experienced in Catholic schools fully supports students in their spiritual and academic growth. Teachers dedicate themselves to helping students achieve their full potential.

I AM UNABLE TO AFFORD THE EXPENSE OF A CATHOLIC EDUCATION; WHAT CAN I DO? All Catholic high schools in the San Francisco Archdiocese have substantial scholarship and financial aid programs for students and families who qualify.

WHAT CAN A CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL DO FOR MY CHILD? The teaching of Catholic values and faith formation are core to the curriculum in Catholic high schools. Equally important is the religious community of adults surrounding Catholic schools, which supports the schools’ mission. Catholic schools mandate that their students take more college preparatory classes. Catholic schools provide a challenging academic curricula in which students thrive, particularly in religious studies, mathematics, science, English and other core subjects.

WHAT ARE THE RESULTS FOR CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES? Over 98% of Catholic school graduates in the San Francisco Archdiocese enroll in colleges and universities.

WHAT FINANCIAL HELP IS AVAILABLE TO ASSIST A FAMILY WITH THE EXPENSE OF A CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION Significant scholarship and financial assistance programs help families meet tuition responsibilities. In the 2012-2013 school year, more than $22.2 million in financial assistance was given by Catholic high schools within the Archdiocese. At the time of application to a Catholic high school, parents should inquire about programs available through the individual high school and through the San Francisco Archdiocese.
