At Verbum Dei, our Catholic college preparatory high school in the Jesuit tradition with an innovative Corporate Work Study Program, we are committed to holistically educating and developing students of southern Los Angeles to become leaders who are intellectually competent, spiritually rooted, and socially conscious.
