Mission & Vision

- Educating the whole child, academically, spiritually, physically, and morally, in a nurturing environment
  Dolores Mission School is a Catholic parish grade school, serving students from transitional kindergarten (TK) through eighth grade, and is committed to uplifting low-income families in the Boyle Heights neighborhood of East Los Angeles. We focus on educating the whole child: academically, spiritually, physically, and morally in a nurturing environment.
  Our holistic approach, which integrates families as essential partners in education, creates the foundation for sustainable, intergenerational change with a rich cultural identity. As an integral part of a Jesuit parish, our goal is to empower our children to rise out of poverty by becoming educated leaders in their community and for the greater glory of God.
  At Dolores Mission, we embrace the idea of “forming women and men for and with others.” This commitment drives our mission to empower students and their families. We believe by investing in our student’s intellectual and emotional development, we not only prepare them for academic success but also cultivate future community leaders. Our comprehensive education incorporates rigorous academics alongside exposure to the arts, science, wellness, and technology, skills essential for personal and academic success.
