  • Our Mission at MDA

Mission Dolores Academy, an inclusive faith-filled school community, empowers confident students who are academically prepared, leading lives motivated by integrity and committed to the common good.

Mission Dolores Academy is firmly rooted in the Catholic tradition. We are dedicated to developing every facet of the whole child, intellectually, spiritually, socially, and emotionally, and celebrating each child's self-worth, dignity, and cultural diversity. MDA promotes an educational environment that instills in every student a love of learning, a connection to God, and a desire to be a changemaker in the world.

We recognize that parents and guardians are the primary educators of their children. We take pride in the teamwork and camaraderie that exists between the school and its family community.
