The school is named after the order's founder, John Bosco, an Italian saint known for his dedication to educating and advocating for youth and for his "Home-School-Church-Playground" model of education. The school was founded as an elementary and intermediate boarding school in 1940. The first high school class graduated in 1956, and in 1979 the boarding school closed. [2] The school has since then resumed its boarding program.

Academics

St. John Bosco High School prepares all graduates to successfully enter and meet the rigors of higher education. All Bosco students complete a structured college preparatory curriculum that exceeds the minimum A-G requirements set by the University of California and California State University systems.

Students at St. John Bosco High School can apply to one of six unique Academic Pathways, in either Biomedical Science, Engineering, Sports Medicine, Computer Science, Entrepreneurship, and Film and Media Arts. The Academic Pathways provide advanced, discipline-specific courses and offer opportunities for internships, field work, capstone projects, and co-curricular competitions. Biomedical students participate in internships with the COPE Health Scholar Program, Engineering students intern with Pelican Products, Sports Medicine students can intern with Rio Hondo College, Long Beach City College, and Response Care Chiropractic. [4]

Among the graduating class of 2019, 96% were accepted to a four-year college or university, including admission to 22 of U.S. News & World Report's top 25 national schools. Bosco alumni are currently studying at Brown, Princeton, Stanford, MIT, Dartmouth, Georgetown, all UC campuses, all CSU campuses, and the US Military, Air Force, and Naval Academies. 98% of St. John Bosco graduating seniors in the past decade have entered institutions of higher learning.
