Middle School — Sixth Through Eighth Grade

San Carlos School’s Middle School program empowers students to grow as independent, thoughtful learners who are prepared for high school and beyond. Our program emphasizes academic rigor, personal responsibility, and community involvement, all grounded in Catholic values and a strong sense of purpose.

Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday: 8:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.

Wednesday (TK–8): 8:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.

Technology Use

Chromebooks are available in all middle school classrooms as a tool to support learning and collaboration. While we value the role of technology in research, presentation, and digital communication, we believe strongly in students developing a foundational understanding by first working by hand before transitioning to digital tools.

This approach reflects our commitment to “intentional technology integration”—using digital tools to enhance, not replace, essential academic skills like writing, note-taking, critical thinking, and problem-solving.

Our Graduates

The majority of our students continue their education at a number of private high schools in our area. Many of our graduates go on to attend Catholic high schools in our Diocese, including Palma High School, Notre Dame High School, St. Francis High School, and Santa Catalina Upper School. Others attend local private and public high schools, including York School, Stevenson High School, Monte Vista Christian High School, Trinity Christian High School, and the MAOS, Art Academy, SPARK, and ASB Programs at Monterey High School.
