St. Bernard’s Catholic School is an independent Catholic coeducational school comprised of day and international students in preschool through 12th grade. By invitation from the Bishop of Sacramento, Mother Bernard Gosselin accompanied with other Sisters journeyed into Redwood country to open the first Catholic elementary school in Eureka, California. On August 12, 1912, the Sisters of St. Joseph established Nazareth Academy (now St. Bernard Catholic School). The arrival of the Sisters marked an historic day in Humboldt County. The Sisters’ devotion, their love of the Church and children, has served our community for over ten decades.
In 2003, St. Bernard’s established a partnership with an academy in Seoul, South Korea to dorm international students. The partnership has been beneficial to international as well as American students. The conversion of the convent to a dormitory required the support of St. Bernard Parish and the Diocese of Santa Rosa. The partnership has opened doors of opportunity for American students as well as for the community. The dorm currently houses international students from China.
