Saint Monica Preparatory

Founded in 1930, Saint Monica Preparatory is a coed Catholic college-prep school in the heart of Santa Monica—just seven blocks from the beach—where students are truly known, challenged, and nurtured in a cohesive community. With a 100% college acceptance rate and an average 1180 SAT, SMPrep pairs rigorous academics with standout signature pathways in Computer Science & Engineering, Entrepreneurship, and Visual Media & Performing Arts, plus the Mariner Ocean Research Institute (MORI), where students complete multi-year research presented to the scientific community. For international families, the admissions pathway is fully supported with August and January intakes, while ED Homestay manages placements from start to finish.
