Since 2001, the LMU School of Education has prepared more than 1,600 Catholic school teachers through our credential and master’s programs. Their impact extends to the Catholic schools and communities they work in across California and beyond.
LMU is built on the Jesuit educational tradition, characterized by a focus on academic excellence, education of the whole person, creativity, faith and social justice. Jesuit universities instill educators with a commitment to serve and to have a positive impact on the lives of students and communities. Our graduates understand that education is transformational—a pathway to a better and more just world.
At SOE, this belief translates into our action-oriented approach, with programs grounded in research, informed by practical applications in classrooms that are also infused with Catholic, faith-based educational traditions, rigorous academics, and strong classroom management.
LMU offers credentials, certificates, degrees, and professional development for Catholic school teachers who embody Catholic values and are trained to work in culturally and linguistically diverse settings.
