Welcome & Events
ST. MATTHEW’S PARISH SCHOOL - moving forward
In the wake of the recent Palisades fire, we are relieved and grateful to confirm the safety of our entire community—students, families, faculty, and staff alike. We sincerely hope your own communities are safe as well. As we rebuild and look forward, we are thrilled to share new opportunities for enrollment for both the 2025-2026 school year and spaces for our current spring semester.
Our new satellite campuses in Santa Monica have been carefully selected to maintain the essence of the St. Matthew's experience, with a strong emphasis on student safety and environmental considerations. These locations offer a seamless transition for families, being conveniently located less than two miles apart.
- Little Falcons through 2nd Grade: our youngest learners will continue with traditional programming. This location offers ample indoor and outdoor spaces ideal for our youngest learners.
- 3rd through 8th Grade students will resume our traditional programming at our 4th floor campus featuring large, bright classrooms with sprawling views, fostering an innovative and creative learning environment. Additionally, we have access to indoor and outdoor play and exercise spaces.
We are committed to maintaining the cherished traditions that make our community unique, and we will keep you updated as more decisions are finalized.
For those interested in a space for your child(ren), please complete the blue Inquiry Form linked below. While we work on setup of our new phone system, please direct any questions to us via [email protected]. We look forward to discussing your journey to becoming a Falcon soon.
We look forward to welcoming new families to the St. Matthew's community.
