“We have to learn to meet challenges and even crisis in the light of Christ’s cross and Resurrection. Part of our Catholic education is to learn to see the needs of others, to have the courage to practice what we believe in. With the support of a Catholic education we try to meet every circumstance of life with the attitude of Christ”. Pope John Paul II

Our Lady of Guadalupe school offers a solid academic education in a caring Catholic environment for students in kindergarten through eighth grade. Most graduates attend local Catholic High Schools and go on to College. We currently enroll approximately 171 students. Before and After School Care is available at a reasonable cost for working parents. We have After School Sports Programs for junior high students. There are openings in most grades if you would like to challenge your students in the areas of faith and academics. For more information, please call the school office at (310) 372-7486.

Are you throwing away those "Box Top" coupons? Did you know they are worth 10c each when our school redeems them? Our goal this year is $500 for playground equipment. Please support this wonderful program by clipping the Box Top coupons from the hundreds of participating products and drop them off at the school or church office.

Our Lady of Guadalupe School,  mindful of its mission to be a witness to the love of Christ for all, admits students regardless of race, color, or national and/or ethnic origin to all rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school.  The school does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, disability, sex, or national and/or ethnic origin in the administration of educational policies and practices, scholarship programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs, although certain athletic leagues and other programs may limit participation.  While the school does not discriminate against students with special needs, a full range of services may not always be available to them. Decisions concerning the admission and continued enrollment of a student in the school are based upon the student’s emotional, academic and physical abilities and the resources available to the school in meeting the student’s needs.

The mission for Catholic Schools includes more than providing our students with quality education.  Although facts and figures prove that this is true, they also prove that a Catholic education provides advantages far and above academics.  If you are considering registering your child for Catholic School, please contact our Principal, Mrs. Hunt at (310) 372-7246.  The 2009-2010 school year begins on September 8.
