Dear Parents,

A blessed day to you and your family!

Santa Barbara Catholic School started conducting the first Summer Enrichment Program (SEP) entitled DISTRICT 12: Conquering the Summer Heat, Empowering our Mind, Heart, and Spirit last 2012. It was a 12-in-1 Interactive, Integrated, and Intensive course that focused on the development and formation of students’ knowledge (Study), abilities (Skill), and faith (Spirituality) through multiple-intelligence approaches and strategies. It aimed to provide the young students an enriching, rewarding, and meaningful summer learning experience through different formative courses that lead the young students in building and strengthening a community of committed Christians, creative thinkers, effective communicators and responsible members of the society.

This year, we would like to invite you again to join our team to make your child's summer fun, memorable, and engaging. We are offering a total of 20 enriching courses. Our Summer Enrichment Program will be from July 5 – 29, 2016.
