St Maria Goretti Catholic School

My firstborn went to a public school for kindergarten and was not thriving. His teacher said she didn’t have time to repeat instructions because of all the students she had (30)… what a different experience here! My son has 10 students in his class… need i say more? Can you imaging the attention & education he’s getting?! The teachers are patient, caring, & spiritual. The kids are sweet & their parents are involved, grounded, & friendly people. The kids in higher grades actually greet the younger ones & help the Kinders open their snacks. The some kinder girls at that public school were straight out if the Disney Channel in a bad way, acting too old, showing off & sassy. These girls act age appropriate & kind. My boys never complained of bullying from the boys or girls here. Fr. John gives the best homilies during mass, really teaching about our Catholic faith & always asking the students questions throughout. I love it here and so does my kids. It’s worth the financial sacrifice to grow up here. Check it out for yourselves!

St. Maria Goretti was recently voted the Best Private School (K-​8) in Long Beach for good reason! The entire staff is committed to providing an excellent, all around education – physically, spiritually, mentally – for each child. The small class sizes further ensure that each student gets the attention he/​she needs and deserves. Their ever-​increasing use of technology and differentiated instruction is preparing students for success in the 21^st century. The school’s campus is a gem; it is secure, well-​tended, and spacious, including the largest grass field of any other Catholic school in Long Beach. The support the school receives from its parish, parishioners, and clergy as part of a larger faith community round out the experience for the school’s families, students, and staff, binding all of them together in a very special way that creates ties that last far beyond 8^th grade graduation.
