2019-2020 School Profile
MISSION STATEMENTJSerra is an independent Roman Catholic high school that encourages students to pursue personal and professional excellence in life. Guided by the teachings of the Catholic Church, we work in partnership with committed parents and inspirational teachers to form the faith, intellect, and character of our young men and women within a Christ-centered, sacrament-based learning environment.
ABOUT JSERRAFounded in 2003, it is the first non-dioscean founded, private Roman Catholic high school in California and the fourth in the country. Located in beautiful, historic San Juan Capistrano, JSerra is in an ideal location between San Diego and Los Angeles.
Religious education, the use of technology, extracurricular activities, and active involvement in Christian service projects are important facets in the students’ overall educational experience.
JSerra is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges and the Western Catholic Education Association. It is a member of the College Board and the National Catholic Educational Association.
There are many clubs on campus, but a few represent significant influence and demand considerable student time. Students who are members of these organizations are typically devoting many hours of their time to serve the community through their club. These include:
• Caritas Christi (service at all school functions)• National Honor Society (peer tutoring)• Life Leaders (mentoring to freshmen)• Lion Ambassadors (mentoring to international students)• Transfer Lions Club (mentoring to transfer students)
Over 80% of our student body participates in athletics at JSerra. The Lion’s sports teams have produced college scholarship and professional athletes. The school is proud of its 25 Trinity League, 12 CIF and 7 state championships. Thirty-four of the Class of 2019 have committed to collegiate sports. JSerra continues to thrive and grow as its students and alumni become leaders in their families, neighborhoods, churches and professional communities.

GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
MAGNET PROGRAMS
The academic program is organized in a modified block schedule. Online classes taken will be denoted on our transcripts. Theology is included in our academic gpa and is considered a core academic class at JSerra. Freshman Communications is a required course for all students with the majority of the content covering logic and grammar. Students are not ranked at JSerra except for the valedictorian and salutatorian.
Roughly 30% of our student body participates in a magnet program. Because all magnet programs require specialized courses per year, many of the magnet students must take online courses and/or summer school to meet all graduation requirements. These students spend many hours outside of class time to fulfill magnet requirements, whether it is visiting hospitals at five am, to mock trials over weekends, to statewide and national competitions through Future Business Leaders of America. Our students have been recognized both regionally and nationally for their accomplishments through their respective magnet programs. All magnet courses receive honors credit at JSerra. Magnet classes are only available to students who are in the magnet program.
