The fundamental goal of a Verbum Dei education, and therefore of our curriculum, is to provide the students with a holistic Catholic education. As “Verbum Dei” means “Word of God”, whatever is done here is inspired by and reflects God’s Word, not only in explicit Religion courses, but in all courses, which are an exploration of God’s presence and purpose throughout creation and in the whole range of human accomplishment.
(Vatican Council II, Gaudium et Spes, n. 11)

In common with all the Catholic schools of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, Verbum Dei requires all students to complete academic courses in Religion, English, Mathematics, Science, Language Arts, History and Social Science, Art, Health, Physical Education, as well ad Keyboarding and Computer Usage.

Verbum Dei provides a college preparatory curriculum. This means that every student who fulfills the Verbum Dei requirements also fulfills the subject requirements for admission to the University of California and the California State University systems as well as those of almost every college and university in the United States.
