Application and Admissions Process
Dear Prospective Families,
Thank you for your interest in San Carlos School!
We are a TK - 8th Grade Catholic School in the heart of beautiful and historic Monterey, California. I look forward to meeting and supporting your student and your family through our application and admissions process.
San Carlos School community is dedicated to the development of socially responsible citizens who aspire to the modeling of Jesus, who are spiritually empowered, academically enriched and morally accountable for their actions. Students begin their day at a morning assembly attended by all grades, parents, and San Carlos Community where we pray, celebrate, support, and ignite a love of learning. We invite you to join us at 8am to witness and participate in the excitement of the San Carlos School campus.
To take the next step, please complete an inquiry form! Once we receive your inquiry, we’ll begin corresponding with you about the admissions process, special programming on campus, and schedule your date to visit.
Thank you for the opportunity to share about SCS!
Sincerely,
Michelle Lavara, Admissions Coordinator
