Admissions Process

Over a Century of Educational Excellence…

Deciding where to spend your high school years can be a difficult decision.  We look forward to making the process enjoyable as you get to know our Mustang family.

St. Vincent de Paul High School offers a 21st-century education in a small but diverse learning community.  Founded in 1918, our skills-based and personalized approach rests on the intellectual and spiritual foundation of our 100-year Catholic school tradition.  By engaging and meeting the needs of each student, we strive to graduate young adults who are compassionate, responsible and prepared for success on whatever path they choose.  The best way for you to learn more about us is by visiting our campus.

We are currently accepting applications for the 2024-2025 School Year.

We look forward to welcoming you to our international student body of life-long learners.

The best way for interested students to explore our programs and community is to visit us during a regular school day. Visiting students will be hosted by a current Mustang and have the opportunity to attend classes, interact with students, teachers and staff throughout their day as they “shadow” their hosts.

The entire family is invited to visit our beautiful campus on Sunday, October 22, 2023 at 1:00pm for our annual Open House. This event affords you the opportunity to hear from members of all departments, meet our students, parents and staff and tour our facilities. Register your family for this special day and find out why we were referred to the “friendliest school in America” by our WASC(accreditation) team.
