St. Cyprian School maintains a strong academic standard and is accredited through the Western Catholic Educational Association (WCEA) and the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).

What makes St. Cyprian School better? We pride ourselves on teaching excellence with our curriculum and our personal attention to each student. Our teachers are passionate about the subjects they teach and care for their students.

The curriculum consists of our core competency courses, but we also have enrichment courses that teach the students the social, analytical, and technology skills that are essential in a technological and diverse world. The enrichment courses not only add educational value, but also teach the students discipline skills and add fun to their daily student life.
