St. Eugene Catholic School is a co-educational archdiocesan Catholic elementary school in South Los Angeles, grades Kindergarten through 8. Our students go on to the best high schools in the Los Angeles Area. Our educational belief is that elementary school sets the standards and foundations for success in high school and beyond. Often, we hear that the first years of school are the most important; we adamantly adhere to that belief.
St. Gertrude the Great provides a rigorous academic program to prepare our students for high school and beyond. St. Gertrude the Great is a Loyola Marymount University (LMU) iDeal Institute blended learning partner school. This program focuses on delivering instruction tailored to each individual student's learning level. Through this program we can differentiate instruction and are better able to assess the understanding of each student while also creating a vibrant classroom community. Our goal is to ensure that each student's individual academic needs are met while still maintaining high academic standards. As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance our academic programs, I am pleased to announce that we will be adding Meet the Masters, an art appreciation program, to our school this fall. Our school's focus on the education of the whole person means that we are concerned with both the mind and spirit of our students. As our mission statement asserts, our goal is to educate our young people to be "committed to leading successful lives of distinguished service and social justice." I encourage you to visit us here at St. Gertrude the Great Catholic School. Please feel free to call the office and set up a time to meet with me to learn more about our school and tour our beautiful campus.
