A private TK-8 arts-integrated school in Costa Mesa, California, serving Orange County families since 1908.
The Newport Mesa campus has operated continuously in Costa Mesa for more than a century, serving families across Costa Mesa, Newport Beach, Huntington Beach, Irvine, and the broader Orange County region.
Newport Mesa is a full TK-8 arts-integrated school with an attached early childhood program serving infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and junior kindergarteners on the same site. A child can begin at Page in infancy and graduate from the same campus at the end of eighth grade.
The school's arts-integrated method, rooted in the people, programs, and places that make this part of California what it is.
Page families at Newport Mesa come from Costa Mesa, Newport Beach, Huntington Beach, Irvine, Tustin, and the surrounding cities. The parent community is rooted in the region: small business owners, professionals, healthcare and design fields, families with multiple generations in OC.
Every spring, every Newport Mesa student performs at Knott's Berry Farm in front of a real public audience. The performance is anchored to this campus and has been part of the school's calendar for decades.
Costa Mesa puts the school inside a dense field-experience corridor: California Missions to the south, Tanaka Farms in Irvine, the Mesa Water Education Center across the city, AstroCamp in the San Bernardino Mountains, the Pacific coast a few minutes west.
Page has run continuously at this location for more than 118 years. The campus has educated generations of Orange County children through two world wars, the Depression, and every California a child has been raised in since 1908.
Newport Mesa anchors the year in destinations students can reach by school bus and return from the same day. The curriculum gets grounded in real places, not just textbooks.
The school's signature spring performance. Every Newport Mesa student takes the stage at Knott's each year, in costume, in front of a paying public audience that came to watch.
A working farm in Irvine where students study food systems, agriculture, and California's growing economy through direct contact with the land. Anchors several of the year's interdisciplinary units.
The local water district's education facility, used for hands-on units on California water systems, conservation, and the engineering that keeps the region running.
An overnight science immersion in the San Bernardino Mountains. Middle school students spend several days in residence, working through hands-on physics, astronomy, and outdoor science units.
San Juan Capistrano and the broader missions corridor anchor the fourth-grade California history unit. Students study the missions, then visit them, then build the historical artifact that interprets what they learned.
The most accurate way to understand whether Page is the right fit for your child is to walk the campus and watch a unit move through a real class. Tours are scheduled directly with the Newport Mesa admissions team.
Costa Mesa tours typically include a walk through TK through eighth grade classrooms, a stop in the Creators Program studios, and time to talk through your family's situation with admissions.
The fastest way to understand the Page method is to watch a unit run. Tours are scheduled by appointment year-round, with priority slots filling early in the spring for the following school year.
