JPCatholic students enjoy a unique residential model, living in apartments instead of dorms. Our on-campus housing is located at Marlowe Palomar Heights, an apartment community about 0.5 mile east of our campus in downtown Escondido. Marlowe offers our students modern apartments with upgraded amenities; envision contemporary design, high‑tech appliances, and a resort-style pool. Students enjoy comfort, convenience, and independence in their home away from home.

Grow in your Faith
Spiritual Life
Our faith in Jesus Christ is at the heart of JPCatholic. We strive to create a campus environment where students can grow in their relationship with Christ through Sacred Scripture, the Sacraments, and the teachings of the Catholic Church.
A rich sacramental and prayer life is at the center of our students’ daily life, with the Eucharist being at the very core. Each day’s class schedule is structured around the Mass, so that any student who wishes may easily attend. Other devotions and ministries contribute to Catholic life on campus, including Eucharistic Adoration, Rosary, households, and retreats.
