I truly like this school, I enjoy my time with my friends and teachers. But some of the boys can't control their hands and will break you down.

I love Saint Monica Prep. It has given me the best high school life. There is so much to do, everyone is friendly and it feels like my home away from home. If I could start all over, I would have even more fun. Saint Monica Prep prepares you for life and you get a little bit of life every time you go to school. This school is full of adventures and is very creative. I love this school and I would recommend it to anyone.

Don't let the other Black peopl...

For a PRIVATE SCHOOL tuition of 18k, combined with a church that has multiple donors including billionaires such as Rick Curuso, an appropriate expectation would be a nice environment, up to date technology systems, and an excellent range of staff and admin. St. Monica Preparatory is a filthy, dirty...

We recently moved to California and our mixed race son enrolled at St. Monica's as a freshman. With one semester completed, I can't say enough good things about the the school and the community in general. He had other choices for Catholic high school in Los Angeles and we are beyond glad that we ch...
