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

In LIFE…

CURRICULUM

ICA offers a rigorous, traditional college-preparatory curriculum and an innovative Corporate Work Study Program for all young women. We provide a focused, in-depth learning experience for students, all of whom graduate with the coursework necessary to qualify for admission to CSU and UC campuses, as well as an impressive resume of four years’ corporate work experience.

The academic program includes four years of religion, English, mathematics, science, and three years of social studies and world language. Physical education and visual-performing arts classes are also required. An academic support period for all students ensures the individual attention every student deserves to meet the challenging demands of ICA’s academic and work study programs. Academic Resource support includes an additional period for students who will benefit from small group tutorials.

In the summer of 2014, ICA launched a joint program with the University of San Francisco School of Nursing to provide a program for ICA juniors to become licensed Certified Nursing Assistants by the end of their junior year.

Students take coursework in the summer before 11th grade, including practical work in the nursing labs at USF, and during junior year continue their coursework while gaining practical experience at the Jewish Home. Students sit for the licensing exam at the end of their junior year. This program will give students a competitive edge in applying to college nursing programs, as well as provide students with a marketable skill for part-time employment while attending college.

CORPORATE WORK STUDY PROGRAM

What distinguishes ICA Cristo Rey from other high schools is a corporate work study program. Through this innovative program, ICA students work at businesses throughout the Bay Area five days a month. All students participate in this work-study program through which they finance a substantial portion of the cost of their education. Our students gain job experience, grow in selfconfidence, and understand the real world applications of their education.

ATHLETICS AND ACTIVITIES

Volleyball, basketball, cross country & track, swimming, soccer and golf constitute the sports offerings. Co-curricular activities are an important part of student life at ICA. They include Student Council, California Scholarship Federation, National Honor Society, BLOCK Society, Student Ambassadors Club, Campus Ministry, CLIP, BSU, Las Latinas, Fil-Am Club, Choir, Respect Life and Riordan’s Colorguard.

CONVENT & STUART HALL

Convent & Stuart Hall offers a rigorous K-12 educational model that is a dynamic blend of single-sex classes in a co-ed environment. Within this independent school community, our students and educators embrace the charism of our Sacred Heart founders, which is spiritually inclusive and global in nature.

SINGLE SEX & CO-ED

We know that young men and women learning in single-sex classrooms have a more positive attitude toward academic achievement, outperform their peers at co-ed schools, feel less self-consciousness and enjoy a greater freedom from the pressure of gender stereotypes. We believe that as our students mature, there is intellectual and social value in learning, debating and exploring topics side-by-side. Curriculum for freshmen and sophomores is designed with a single-sex focus and a selection of co-ed elective and co-curricular activities. As students rise to junior and senior year, their offerings expand where they can take advantage of 17 co-ed language and AP courses. Convent & Stuart Hall is the only school in the Bay Area that offers high school students such a dynamic blend of single-sex education in an authentic co-ed environment.

WISDOM & KNOWLEDGE

“Any fool can know. The point is to understand.” - Albert Einstein We develop resilient, resourceful and engaged thinkers equipped to survive in an evolving world. Our curriculum challenges and stretches students into their potential, preparing them for college and life. We deliver an interactive learning experience curated by faculty highly regarded in their academic fields. Students graduate with confidence in what they know, how they think and who they are. Hallmark high school initiatives in 2013-2014 included a Design Thinking Symposium with Silicon Valley innovators, a sophomore trip to Costa Rica for service and cultural immersion, and the introduction of an elective to produce original conservation research in conjunction with the Kew Gardens in the U.K., the U.C. Reserve System and biologists in Western Australia.

LOCALLY ACTIVE & GLOBALLY ENGAGED

Our students interact often with other students in the Network of Sacred Heart Schools, which includes 24 schools in North America and more than 140 worldwide. The international character of Sacred Heart education brings global awareness home to our students and allows them to participate in service programs and exchanges.

(650) 345-8207 You will be known. You will belong.

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 2014 performed more than 34,000 hours of Christian service.

ACADEMIC RIGOR

Serra offers a rigorous college preparatory curriculum that includes more than 25 AP and honors courses in English, science, mathematics, world languages, and social studies. Our current AP pass rate is among the highest in the Bay Area, and our students consistently score well above the California and national averages on SATs. Elective courses allow students to explore a wide range of interests; some examples include Virtual Enterprise, Business Law, Films Theory and Production, Reel Theology and Environmental Science.

Ninety-nine percent of our graduates leave Serra for colleges and universities throughout the country, from East Coast Ivy League schools to the outstanding institutions throughout California, both public and private. During their four years at Serra, students are supported by our College and Career Center where five full-time counselors provide the resources and expertise to help students and their families choose the right colleges, investigate scholarship opportunities, and explore career options.

More than 55% of the graduating class of 2014 received scholarship offers totaling over $14 million. This total does not reflect need-based aid of loans or federal and state grants.

VISUAL AND PERFORMING ARTS

We know that the arts play a unique role in the communication of ideas and the emotions of the human spirit, nurturing the moral, psychological, spiritual and social growth of all students. Serra’s highly acclaimed Visual and Performing Arts program offers students opportunities to express and challenge their creativity in a number of ways ranging from symphonic band and mixed chorus to theater arts, ceramics and architectural design.

ACTIVITIES AND ATHLETICS

The more than 40 clubs and organizations at Serra encourage students to discover their unique talents and build relationships with their Padre brothers. At Serra, ordinary moments become extraordinary experiences.

Students might choose to develop their design and engineering skills on the robotics team, sharpen their leadership skills by participating in student government, argue a case in a Mock Trial courtroom, or unleash their comedic talent with the Improv Club.

A rich tradition of athletic competition is a source of pride for our entire community. Serra is a place where athletes become champions. Fifteen sports are offered throughout the year. Student athletes compete in the West Catholic Athletic League (WCAL), one of the most competitive high school leagues in California. Our coaches are role models who are dedicated to developing young athletes – mind, body, and soul – into men of integrity both on and off the playing field. Padre team sports include baseball, basketball, crew, cross country, diving, football, golf, lacrosse, soccer, swimming, tennis, track and field, volleyball, water polo, and wrestling.

TRI-SCHOOL PROGRAM

The Tri-School Program, a partnership with our sister schools Notre Dame (Belmont) and Mercy (Burlingame), is a collaborative effort that affords our students the proven benefits of single-gender education while providing significant coeducational opportunities including classes, clubs, retreats, social events, and music and drama productions.

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.

PROFILE

St. Ignatius College Preparatory is a community of lifelong learners that has served students in the San Francisco Bay Area for 158 years. We are part of a 450-year tradition of Catholic, Jesuit education that spans the world. Our roots, wide and deep, help our students grow into men and women committed to faith & justice, leadership & service, academic excellence & compassion.

SI’s top-notch college preparatory education helps students get into schools that are best suited for them, from the most selective universities to the ones that are tailor made for their specific needs. Our grads have done some amazing things since the founding of the school and will tell you that SI helped them grow into people who care more about serving others than about fame or fortune.

PHILOSOPHY

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 95% 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’s challenging curriculum, combined with a program of interscholastic sports, extra-curricular activities, cultural events and service to community provide a school culture 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 high schools as it provides a boarding program for fifty students in the Upper School, fostering community living in a family atmosphere. Boarders from throughout the Bay Area, the United States, and around the world consider boarding as an exciting opportunity where seamless interaction between boarders and day students adds a diversity of global cultures within the student body.

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 experiences, demonstrating intellectual inquiry, knowledge of human history and global cultures, all augmented by clear thinking, speaking and writing. Critical thinking, study and research skills are integrated into all academic disciplines.

Students are encouraged to seek creative solutions, and to take intellectual risks.

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 and writing and research skills training.

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

• A community service program that is an essential part of the student experience and central to Priory’s mission. All students are required to participate in at least three Service Opportunities per year, though most students do many more. In addition to doing things on their own, Service Opportunities are integrated into students’ lives as all student clubs and sports teams are required to participate in a service activity as a group, and service-oriented themes are integrated into classroom curriculum.

• 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 not tapped in typical • High school students are engaged in a four-year retreat program centering on their spirituality and faith journey within the context of Benedictine values.

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.

S

chool is back in session! High school students are busy with homework, athletics, schools events and activities, clubs, concerts, and learning! It is amazing 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 (HSPT) and 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 2013-2014 school year, more than $26.5 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.
