This is an exciting time at St. Sebastian.
Our mission is to be the flagship Catholic elementary school in
West Los Angeles. From our faculty and Governance Council to our
academic focus and structure, including renovations inside and out,
we’re changing and growing in all directions.
Our “Extreme Makeover”
The interior of the school has a new look including paint, lighting
and furniture. A new air-conditioning and heating system for the
entire school was installed in August, 2006 adding to an already
redesigned infrastructure that includes all new plumbing. There
has been a complete makeover in the reception area, principal’s
office and faculty room as well as the cafeteria kitchen.
There’s a new Preschool, and
every classroom, K through Eight, features state-of-the-art computers,
flat-screen monitors and Smart Board technology which enables our
teachers to take your child’s learning experience to a whole
new level.
Junior High Departmentalization
St. Sebastian’s Junior High program (grades 6, 7 and 8) features
a departmentalized curriculum focusing on three critical areas:
math, science and literature. The 8th grade also has Algebra I.
Our main priority is to prepare our students for the high school
experience and equip them to gain acceptance to whatever high school
they choose.
The Governance Council
The St. Sebastian administrative team will be assisted and advised
by the school Governance Council which is comprised of parishioners,
educators, and community leaders. The Council and administration
will work together to provide the richest possible learning environment
for our students.
Preschool
Bringing 3-5 year-olds into the St. Sebastian family is a cornerstone
of our new vision and we are pleased to tell you more about our
state of the art Preschool.
Kindergarten
St. Sebastian is proud to have its’ very own “Little
Red School House” kindergarten, completely refurbished with
new furniture and equipment, including computers. St. Sebastian’s
strives to provide a nurturing environment where your child will
thrive and grow during this very important time in their educational
development.

New Technology
We believe traditional classroom instruction is enriched through
technology and our expanded tech center includes upgraded computer
systems, software, and Internet access. Students will have access
to a fully equipped computer lab where they can do research and
learn to use the Internet as a learning tool. Our renovated science
lab and enhanced science program will give students a space for
experimentation and hands-on learning.
