ABOUT US
Welcome to LA PURISIMA CATHOLIC School
We are so excited to welcome both returning and new families to La Purisima Catholic School! Whether you are rejoining us or are new to our community, we want to express our sincere gratitude for entrusting us with your child’s education and spiritual growth. Your support means so much to us, and we look forward to working together to help each student grow in faith, academics, and character.
Since our founding in 1965 by the Sisters of the Order of the Company of Mary, Our Lady, LPCS has been dedicated to providing a solid foundation for our students. Guided by the charism of St. Jeanne de Lestonnac, we focus on core values such as Fulfilling their Name, Extending their Hand, and Maintaining their Flame, helping our students become compassionate and well-rounded individuals.
To our returning families, you already know what makes LPCS special: our strong academics, rich faith experiences, and the opportunities for students to explore their gifts through extracurriculars and leadership roles. We’re also celebrating milestones like our Centennial Legacy, a reminder of the incredible history we’re all part of.
To our new families, we are thrilled to have you join the LPCS community! We are committed to ensuring that your child has a positive and enriching experience as they embark on their journey with us. We are here to support you every step of the way and are excited to see the many ways your family will contribute to our vibrant school community.
It’s a great day to become a Cavalier!
