St. Bruno Catholic School Offers the Right Education for Your Children

If you live in the Los Angeles area, particularly around the central part of the San Gabriel Valley, and you are seeking a nearby, quality Catholic education for your children who are not yet teens, you have few choices. St. Bruno Catholic School is selected by the parents of over 300 children seeking an excellent Catholic and academic education. The school was founded about 60 years ago by the Sisters of Mercy of Burlingame. Named after the founder of the Carthusian order, the school is affiliated with a parish of about 2900 families.

Students and families appreciate the fact that St. Bruno Catholic School produces well-trained graduates, who understand their role as Catholics and who have the opportunity to participate on accomplished sports teams. The flag football team won the Big 10 conference recently as did the varsity basketball team. Alumnus Matt Carillo played football at Old Dominion University and his brother Tyler played at St. Paul High School.

Students at the school have won academic accolades, as well. The Academic Decathlon team won three medals recently. Alumna Audrey Wills was a 2012 National Merit Scholar and winner of a $10,000 Nordstrom scholarship.

 School alumni attend a number of Catholic high schools including St. Joseph High School, Don Bosco Technical Institute High School, Cornelia Connelly, Servite High School, Rosary High School, Loyola High School, St. John Bosco High School, St. Paul High School, and Bishop Amat High School. Graduates also succeed at local public high schools.

One reason for student success is the involvement and support by parents. Students see their parents at sports events, fundraising activities, and at home while doing homework. The students know that their parents are making a financial sacrifice for their children’s future and feel a responsibility to perform well.

 St. Bruno Catholic School is an excellent choice for your children.
