Rooted in the Catholic faith, evangelical vision and spirit, the community of Serra Catholic School welcomes families from the parishes of St. Kilian, San Francisco Solano, Santiago de Compostela, and Holy Trinity, and surrounding areas. In the spirit of the Gospel, the parents, teachers, and Administration of Serra Catholic School strive to educate and develop the unique potential of each student spiritually, academically, physically, psychologically, and socially. We strive for excellence in fulfilling this mission by offering a program which fosters various learning styles and provides a diversity of academic experiences in order to instill in each child: a Catholic faith-filled life and missionary spirit, a life-long love of learning, a reverence for one’s own physical being, a positive and realistic self-image, and a willingness to share one’s God-given gifts.
