Pax Christi Academies’ graduates are well-rounded individuals who excel in academics, lead with compassion, and live out their Catholic faith in all aspects of their life.

They are prepared to make meaningful contributions to the world, grounded in the values of Christ and led by a deep commitment to country and service.

Our four guiding Principles -“Faith, Intellect, Character, and Citizenship” —are the means to make our Mission and Vision a reality, in order to strive for our goal of making present the Pax Christi in Orange County and beyond.

FAITH, the “belief in and love of God; formation in the Catholic faith; and the evangelization of families.”

INTELLECT, we strive for the “attainment of academic potential and the practical application of reason and wisdom.”

CHARACTER, we promote the “cultivation of human values and moral discernment necessary for happiness.”

CITIZENSHIP, we inculcate in our students “love of country and an understanding of civics and the history of the United States.”

“They (my school) taught me about how much God loves each of us and how He created us in His special way. And from that, it has helped me learn to love myself more.“
