For more than 60 years, Chaminade College Preparatory School has served high school students in the West Hills neighborhood. The Catholic high school campus is in West Hills, while the nearby middle school is a 7-mile drive away in Chatsworth. High school students who attend Chaminade are encouraged to learn through Catholic and Marianist traditions of living faith, academic excellence, and moral responsibility. A college-preparatory curriculum sets students up for higher education success. Chaminade high school students are offered 28 AP subjects, a four-year college counseling experience, critical thinking and writing emphasis, and student-centered instruction. The STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) curriculum, including coding and AP science electives, allows students to develop science-based skills. Fine arts programs, like ballet, drama and film, encourage artistic expression.
Students receive a faith-based education, and community service is a big part of the Chaminade culture. School spirit is cultivated through pep rallies, sports and student assemblies. Events, such as Founders Day, Homecoming, and Family Fun Night, are widely anticipated and attended by the Chaminade community.
