Site Introduction

Mira Catalina opened in 1963 and presently serves over 370 students in grades TK through 5. Our students hail from every part of this nation and many foreign countries. The teachers’ task is to empower children and teach essential skills that will keep all options and pathways open. The objective is to put the world within the children’s reach. Much of the success of our school is due to the ongoing support from our families and members of the community. We are here to support and challenge our students as they work to accomplish their goals.
