Program Overview
| Mission |

Affiliated with the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles, Damien High School promotes the intellectual, physical, and spiritual development of its students through instruction, fellowship, and prayer. Inspired by the exemplary commitment of St. Damien of Molokai, faculty and staff join parents, as primary educators, to prepare our young men for the demands of college and the challenges of adulthood.
The mission of Damien’s International Student Program is three-fold:
-
- Share our first-class, college-preparatory high school education globally.
- Encourage our students in broadening their worldview, exhibiting community and global awareness, and respecting all persons and cultures.
- Instill the values embodied in the Catholic Church and the charity of St. Damien.
