The Pacifica Difference

What makes the education at our school stand out? Your experience here will be beyond lectures and textbooks. We want you to chart your own path — to discover yourself, refine your knowledge and skills, and become strong in your faith.
 

At Pacifica, students are:

Intellectually Curious

Through a distinct classical liberal arts education, you will be challenged to think critically, answer wisely, and strive for excellence in all areas of learning.

Socially Engaged

The community at Pacifica is truly a place to thrive. Here, you can find your pack, explore your gifts, and stay engaged in various athletics, arts, clubs, events, and travel opportunities.

Spiritually Nurtured

Christian faith is the cornerstone of our school culture. Students here build — and grow spiritual foundations, leading them to pursue God and live with integrity.

“Why did we choose Pacifica? I want to say everything, but If I have to choose one, it is how quickly the school integrates the students and makes them love the school from day one. My daughter has always been a good student, but I never thought she would have this excitement to prepare for a class. The motivation is only because of the amazing teachers she has at Pacifica.”  – Pacifica Parent
