For over a century, the corner of 49th Avenue and 104th Street has been more than just a school. It has been a lighthouse.

Having recently surpassed our historic 100th-year centennial mark, St. Leo Catholic Academy stands at a profound turning point. Since opening our doors in 1923, we have served as the cornerstone of the Corona community, witnessing generations of families walk through our halls—children who arrived with dreams and left with the foundation to achieve them. Today, as we step into our second century, we are looking forward with renewed purpose toward a future of scholarship, leadership, and service.

A Place to be Seen and Heard In a world that often moves too fast, St. Leo remains a "hidden gem" where time slows down enough for every child to be truly known. Our hallways are filled with the vibrant energy of our diverse student body, but they are also spaces of profound safety. Here, children are not just names on a roster; they are individuals who are seen, heard, and deeply loved. Whether it is a "littlest learner" in Pre-K discovering the joy of prayer or an 8th grader preparing for high school, every student at SLCA knows they belong to a family that cares for their whole self—mind, body, and spirit.

Rooted in Faith: "Seeing Christ in One Another" Our mission is anchored in our Catholic values. We live by a simple but powerful credo: Seeing Christ in One Another. This isn't just a phrase we hang on the wall; it is the heartbeat of our daily life. It is visible in the way our students hold the door for one another, the way our faculty pours their hearts into every lesson, and the way we gather as a community to serve our neighbors in Corona. We are teaching our children that to live the Gospel is to live a life of empathy, inclusion, and responsibility.

We Cannot Do This Without You As we embark on this next century, we recognize that the excellence of a St. Leo education is made possible by the generosity of those who believe in our mission. Your support ensures that:

A Safe Haven Remains Accessible: Providing scholarships to families who seek a values-based education but face financial hurdles.
Modern Tools for Eternal Values: Upgrading our classrooms with the technology needed to prepare students for the 21st century while maintaining our traditional spiritual foundation.
The "Heart of Corona" Keeps Beating: Maintaining our historic facilities so they remain a safe, beautiful environment for learning and growth.
