We have a freshman at JSerra this year and could not be more pleased with the school. My son was accepted at several other private schools in OC but choose JSerra because of the Magnet programs. These programs are top-notch and really set JSerra apart from the other private schools in the area. The school size is small enough to develop a close community but large enough to give the students a wonderful and varied high school experience. We highly recommend JSerra.
