4worldlovers:
As the largest, diverse, co-educational Catholic high school in Pasadena, we are inspired by our Lasallian heritage. This heritage draws from the Christian Brothers, whose reputation for excellence in education extends over 300 years.

Every student has the opportunity to take an active role in La Salle's community life and service.

Our Four-Year Arts Program allows students to explore, refine and express their creativity and artistry.

Our Five Core Principles drive all of our decisions, actions and work at La Salle College Preparatory. From academics, counseling, arts and athletics, these Lasallian principles guide our students, faculty and staff everyday. In following each, we strive to carry out our mission in the name of St. John Baptist de La Salle.

We celebrate our inclusive, co-educational and diverse environment because it prepares our students for an increasingly global culture and economic landscape.

Our high-caliber academic program challenges our students in the classroom and our broad offering of co-curricular programs empower and enable our students to discover their path to excellence.

We place a strong emphasis on service, through classes and opportunities to serve in our community and around the world. We do this to instill in our students a sense of responsibility; that their impact in addressing social challenges is needed and can be felt beyond our walls.

4worldlovers: At Sequoyah, students are encouraged to find their own voices, set academic goals and define a path for themselves.

In our high school classrooms, you will find teachers challenging students to use their growing knowledge and skills to solve essential questions at the heart of contemporary challenges — to see connections, develop meaningful relationships, and construct shared understanding.

Our high school students develop initiative and self-direction through college preparatory coursework and field studies emphasizing global perspectives and cultural competency. Independent study and collaborative effort will culminate in a junior-year social impact project and a senior-year internship.

At Sequoyah, students become changemakers — effective and skilled advocates who know how to inspire collaboration and lead innovation.


Sequoyah’s unique four-year Social Innovation Program (SIP) provides training and opportunities for students to become emerging social entrepreneurs. Our Advisory program reinforces the development of a growth mindset, conflict resolution skills, and effective leadership.

Sequoyah’s high school curriculum is designed to prepare students to graduate as experienced, confident, and resourceful problem-solvers who know how to apply their knowledge and passion, using strategies that can make a difference for their communities and in their own lives. Sequoyah students are challenged to think critically and creatively, learn how to work in diverse teams, and communicate ideas successfully.

It is the combination of a diverse school community with ongoing pursuit of mutual respect and cultural competency that makes for such a rich learning environment.

In 1958, Sequoyah School’s founders envisioned a progressive school for a better world. Central to that vision was a dedication to a diverse, equitable, and inclusive educational environment. Today, Sequoyah School continues this journey within the planning, operation, and curriculum of the school.

This active and ongoing effort is essential to the pursuit and celebration of human dignity. It allows our students to become self-reflective, engaged citizens able to participate in the authentic exchange of ideas and dialogue across differences.

We believe that diversity among students and families, faculty and staff, administration and leadership enriches the learning environment at Sequoyah School. A diverse representation of identity, thought, and experience prepares our students to thrive and contribute meaningfully to the larger world.

Learn about our DEI work at the institutional, program, curricular, and community levels from Kindergarten through 12th Grade.
