Join us at Saint Monica Preparatory's upcoming TK-12 Open House on Sunday, October 26 from 1-4 p.m. The Open House is a great opportunity to tour our Santa Monica campus, classrooms and facilities and meet TK-12 faculty, coaches and current families. SMPREP students will lead the tours, sharing their experiences with our strong academic and co-curricular programs and highlighting the six new STEM laboratories and classrooms on campus — including the hands-on MakerSpace, Robotics lab and Mariner Ocean Research Institute (MORI) where students carry out collaborative research projects. The updated, state-of-the-art Auditorium will be ready for its close-up in early 2026 with retractable seating, upgraded lighting and acoustics and air conditioning. Over its almost 100-year history, Saint Monica Prep has offered a diverse, close-knit community where students are known, seen, challenged and nurtured. SMPREP President Dr. Erin Luby is leading the school into its exciting new chapter. More information, along with an RSVP form for Open House, can be found on our new website at saintmonicaprep.org.
