Mater Dei Catholic High School is a four-year co-educational high school in the Diocese of San Diego. In 2007, thanks in part to a generous grant from the ALSAM Foundation, Mater Dei Catholic subsumed Marian Catholic High School, continuing Marian’s legacy and tradition on a state of the art, 50-acre custom built facility in the Otay Ranch area of Chula Vista, just four miles north of the U.S.–Mexico International Border. Mater Dei Catholic continues to preserve its strong Catholic faith life while providing a cutting-edge 21st century holistic education through an innovative curriculum based on real-world application of knowledge.
