Padre Preview for Applicants
Global Leadership Program
February 15, 2024 | 6:30-8:30 p.m.

Serra’s unique Global Leadership Program introduces students to fascinating thinkers, entrepreneurs and corporate and organizational leaders who are solving complex problems to benefit underserved communities.

Students in the program are invited to design, research and complete a capstone project in their junior or senior year. This student-centered approach allows individuals to focus on areas as diverse as artificial intelligence, medicine, journalism, dramatic arts or homelessness. The project will serve as a culminating academic and intellectual experience and the program carries a distinction on the student's transcript.

The Global Leadership Program is housed in Serra’s new Stinson Center for Learning and Innovation, where dynamic programming takes place year round to inspire creativity, conversation and collaboration.

Please join us to learn more about the Global Leadership Program. You will hear about some of the inspiring capstone projects Serra students have completed and how those projects have fostered critical thinking, problem solving and communication. Many Serra students find their capstone projects lead directly into their choice of college major.

This event will be held in San Mateo from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Thursday, February 15. Please register in advance, space is limited. 

Padre Preview for Applicants
Honors and AP Opportunities
February 22, 2024 | 6-8 p.m.

This Padre Preview for Applicants will showcase the breadth of Serra’s honors and advanced placement classes and illustrate the academic paths available to students. 

While some freshmen arrive ready to take a full load of honors classes, others ease into an advanced curriculum. Serra offers opportunities for each student to challenge and test himself with courses that are appropriate for his level. Our goal is for every student to reach his full potential and we have outstanding teachers in every academic area to make that a reality.

At this event, Serra students will discuss their courses, teachers, class projects and accomplishments in advanced classes. They will talk about balancing their challenging schedules with extracurricular activities, the teachers who inspired them and the support they both give and receive from classmates. 

This event will be held at a Serra family’s home in Millbrae from 6 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, February 22.  Please register in advance, space is limited.

Exceptional Extracurriculars
February 25, 2024 | 2-4 p.m.

High school is a time for exploration and discovery. At Serra that happens in the classroom, on the playing field and definitely through extracurricular activities like clubs, visual and performing arts, campus ministry and service.

Join us for a Padre Preview dedicated to the incredible array of extracurricular activities Serra students embrace like picking up a new instrument, building a robot in Robotics, arguing in front of a real judge in Mock Trial, exploring migrant communities along the Mexico/U.S. border or buying and selling “stocks” in the Economics club. 

Whether your passion is aviation, drama, climate change, video games, barbecuing, service immersion trips or Zumba, Serra has something for you! 

This event will be held at a Serra family’s home in Atherton from 2 to 4 p.m. on Sunday, February 25. Please register in advance, space is limited.
