About
Sonora School is the hidden gem in the Mesa del Mar community of Costa Mesa. The school's mission of creating a school that accepts no limits to the academic success of ALL students serves as the foundation for everything that we believe in. We hold high expectations and offer students opportunities to excel in the classroom and through outside experiences.
We continue to add college symbolism and character traits around our campus to promote college readiness and success in career and life. We are committed to continually improving our programs and practices in order to prepare all students for college and the work place.
