San Gabriel Mission Elementary School is a beautiful and unique TK-8th Grade Catholic STEM school offering an academically rigorous and faith-centered educational experience. We invite you to learn more about becoming a part of our family.
In 2020, our classrooms and student spaces were beautifully remodeled, including the addition of three new STEM labs and new furniture throughout!
100% of our 8th graders are accepted into the Catholic high school of their choice
We are a proud member of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles STEM Network
SGMES is located on the beautiful
and historic grounds of the
San Gabriel Mission and is deeply
rooted in the Dominican charism
We believe that children learn best when the significant adults in their lives, parents, teachers, and other family members, work collabortively to encourage and support them.
We chose San Gabriel Mission Elementary School 5 years ago when our eldest child was entering kindergarten and could not be happier with our decision. The education she has been receiving is exceptional and well-rounded. When SGMES joined the Catholic School STEM Network, the curriculum became more robust and it has been exciting to see all the new things being taught. Curriculum aside, we are also happy to be a part of the Mission family. Over the years here we have formed many close relationships not only with the teachers and staff, but with the families here as well. Since joining Mission we have seen nothing but positive changes brought to the school by our wonderful principal and teachers. Even through a pandemic, the teachers remained just as dedicated to our children as ever. When it came time for our youngest to start elementary school, there was no question where she should attend. We love SGMES!
Words cannot express how wonderful our experience was at San Gabriel Mission Elementary school.
I myself graduated from SGMES in 2000, and I decided to send my daughter there from Kinder to 8th grade. If TK was an option at the time, I would have sent her to that too! I have seen the school grow in so many ways; not only has it improved physically (thanks to the Shea Foundation) and academically (thanks to the STEM Network and excellent teachers), but also as a community! All of these wonderful upgrades would not have been possibly without the strong will of Mrs. Garcia, who is always looking for ways to improve the school and keep things up-to-date and moving forward. She showed us that it was possible to work as a community to improve education for our children. I’m only disappointed that my daughter has already graduated and we no longer get to see those friendly faces. However, I’m so happy for my Alma Mater and am so happy for families that have become my forever friends who will continue to enjoy and grow at SGMES. I highly recommend SGMES to anyone and everyone who is thinking about a Catholic education!
I am so proud to be a SGMES parent, parent of two alums and a graduate myself. I can attest to the many benefits of a Mission education. The curriculum is academically challenging and the teachers set high expectations for students but they do this in a loving and nurturing environment that allows students to be themselves and make mistakes. My two oldest were well prepared for high school, my son attended Loyola High School and my daughter attended Mayfield Senior School, and now that they are both in college, I look back at their time at SGMES fondly and wish that they were there again. SGMES is an amazing place!
