Saint Charles Borromeo Academy

We enrolled our kids at St Charles earlier this year and it has been an incredible experience. Mrs Debra Cota is a very impressive leader with tremendous passion. She is very involved and her team of teachers share as much passion and kindness as her. St Charles is a rare find and all the kids seem kind and motivated.

St. Charles is a fantastic school with dedicated and professional teachers and staff. A great emphasis is placed on Catholic teaching and tradition, including service to others and involvement in the school and parish community. Students receive a quality education and are treated as individuals, especially those with learning challenges. The teachers show compassion to their students, while maintaining an environment in which students learn to be responsible and accountable for their actions. My child is treated with respect and care and has grown tremendously in his two years of attending St. Charles. We plan to be a part of this special community for many more years.

St. Charles Borromeo Academy has been a terrific school for my children and my entire family for the past 3 years. I have been impressed with the quality of the education. The teachers really care about each child and have partnered with us to nurture each of our children in individual ways. The emphasis on Christian faith and virtues is at the core of everything the academy does. It is not just a school but a community. We have made so many close friends through the academy.

In this time of COVID, the school pivoted over a weekend so that not one day of learning was lost. Now that we are back this fall, asynchronous learning has been impressive. Seeing the teachers in action has given me a whole new appreciation for the high standards at St. Charles. If you are looking for a school in the Pt. Loma area, take a tour of St. Charles Borromeo Academy.

A true gem. Small children feel, safe and comfortable in a truly friendly environment. The older children are very focused on school. They have great manners and excellent character. Even the school location is ideal. Across the street from Liberty Station, it makes it really covenient to take care of errands, meeting up with friends and afternoon pick-up of the kids coming in from downtown. Since it's only one class per grade, we have a better sense of who's who at the school. You couldn't ask for a warmer, more spirit filled environment with down-to-earth parents who just want the best for their children.The new principal is just so approachable and really cares about the success of each child. If you want pompous and flashy, this is not the place. If you want a small, warm community with a serious tone to academics, this is your home.

Both of our children attend SCBA and love it. They love their teachers, their friends, and the aftercare too! We like knowing our kids are growing up with book smarts as well as kindness, compassion, love, and mercy. It is also a wonderfully close and supportive community on all fronts: teacher-parents-and staff. We love it here...and Miss Diana...YOU ROCK ❤

Great School. Great Education
