St. Angela Merici Parish School

Overview

St. Angela Merici Parish School is a Catholic K-8 private school in Brea, California, serving grades K-8, with about 245 students. The school does not publish tuition; ask for current figures when you book a visit. Faith-based schools usually hold religion classes and chapel; the website does not say whether these are required, so ask during your visit.

Admissions

Entrance exam requirements are not published; contact admissions.

The school publishes the following application details. Not verifiable. The Admissions page on the school website (https://stangelabrea.org/admissions) is blocked by Cloudflare, so no official information could be obtained on the application process, open house dates, deadlines or whether an assessment is required; contact the school office directly at (714) 529-6372.

The main entry points at a K-8 school are kindergarten and grade 6. Younger applicants are usually evaluated through an on-campus visit, while most applicants above grade 5 need an ISEE score. Start in the fall of the year before entry: visit first to confirm the school is a fit, then decide whether to register for testing.

Tuition and fees

Not verifiable. The entire school website at stangelabrea.org, including the home page, /admissions, robots.txt and sitemap.xml, is blocked by Cloudflare bot verification and returns 403. We do not bypass this kind of verification, so no citable tuition page content was obtained. The school website’s Admissions page does carry tuition and fee information; parents should open https://stangelabrea.org/admissions directly or call (714) 529-6372 for this school year’s prices.
