ACADEMICS

At St. Serra, we inspire our students to become the innovative thinkers and ethical leaders of tomorrow.


We educate our students to meet the spiritual, academic, and moral challenges of the future by providing opportunities to develop the Catholic values and critical thinking skills needed in ethical decision-making, academic growth, and personal development. We are committed to providing a diverse curriculum, using technology as a tool for learning. In the spirit of the Gospel, the parents, teachers and administration of St. Serra strive to educate and develop the unique potential of each student spiritually, academically, physically, psychologically.

School-Wide Student Learning Expectations (SLEs):

  • A Catholic, Christ-Centered Life that Serves God and Others
  • An Engaged and Active Life-Long Learner
  • A Respect and Reverence for Human Dignity and Diversity
  • A Passion to Share and Lead with One's God-Given Gifts
