School Notes:
We offer a college preparatory curriculum integrated with the traditions and beliefs of the Roman Catholic doctrine. Religious education is a priority, with prayer and worship serving an important role during each day. The school is authentically Catholic, yet warmly ecumenical, and is open to students of all faiths.
JSerra’s accredited academic program is designed to prepare its students for post-secondary education. As a college preparatory institution, JSerra’s academic program is rigorous and demands high standards. Students are expected to think critically in all of their classes, and extensive writing and reading assignments are integral to much of the curriculum. JSerra also prides itself on the extent to which technology is integrated into the curriculum. Successful students will develop a passion for learning during their time at JSCHS and will challenge themselves in their studies. JSerra offers the advanced student over thirty honors and Advanced Placement classes.
JSerra's growing Professional Magnet Programs currently include medical, business and law tracks. Other tracks are in development, including engineering and communications.

School Reviews:
April 14,2013 - The quality of academic programs prepares you for college and the teachers and facilities are there for every student and want the best for all of the students that go there. When I visit I feel like I am returning to catch up with friends. I was able to be apart of so many different activities: volleyball, ASB, choir, ministry, theater, and so much more. Not only was I able to partake in those activities but I was taking AP and Honors classes. JSerra really makes it possible to be SUPER involved. There are so many chances for any type of student to do something they enjoy and if they are willing receive academic or athletic awards. I loved my experience at JSerra and I encourage anyone interested to at least check it out!*-Posted by Student/Alumni *
