Our Lady of Refuge School was founded in September, 1953 and was staffed by the Sisters of St. Louis, under the leadership of the first principal,   Mother Callista.  Now, over  50  years later, the school continues its work of providing quality education to youth. 

The mission of Our Lady of Refuge School is paraphrased below and flows from the mission statement for all Catholic Schools within the Archdiocese of Los Angeles: 

Jesus Christ is the foundation. His call to teach is our inspiration; His image the model for our students. In partnership with parents, we prepare our students to become full and active members of the Catholic Church, to serve others, and to make a difference in the world. We commit our school to provide a quality education so that a Catholic Education is an Advantage for Life.
