A Day at Holy Cross STEM School

Each day is filled with meaningful learning, exploration, and growth. From morning prayer to hands-on STEM lessons, students engage in a well-rounded education rooted in faith, curiosity, and community. Enrichment activities, recess, and collaborative learning create a dynamic and joyful school experience.

Building a Safe and Caring Environment.

​Holy Cross STEM School operates on a foundation of respect, rooted in the Gospel messages of Jesus Christ. We expect all members of our community to treat one another with respect and help make our school a positive environment in which to learn and grow. Students are responsible for their actions and are held accountable for the choices they make. Behaviors that are contrary to Christian/Catholic morals, which are intimidating, destructive, or aggressive, are subject to consequences specified in the Discipline Policies of the school and Archdiocese of Los Angeles.
