We have been established with St Patrick since 2015. My son has had a pleasant expiereience thus far at St. Pats. We were blessed with the most awesome TK/Kinder teacher... read more Ms. Lupe she has created the best experience for my shy lil guy. She is honest, kind, and works so hard to ensure each child has the best learning experience. My child has truly blossomed and I owe a lot of that to the wonderful teachers and staff. The extended care and teacher's aide staff are the most kind hearted people you will ever meet!!!

As a volunteer and very involved parent my only gripe is the lack of parent participation. The school constantly has to beg for parents to be involved. On many occasions my child was held back from field trips due to lack of parent volunteers. I am a single parent who works full time during school hours, with no additional help, and I exceed my commitment with volunteer opportunities and involvement in any way I can toward the school. The school has all the tools it needs to be grand it's the parents who are not helping the school grow where it needs to.

Most of the staff has been there since my niece attended in the 90s and majority of the staff is excellent. But they are advertising St. Pats at churches like Guadalupe or in East SJ that are not native to downtown so I'm thinking that's where the disconnect lies with the parents since it's not their neighborhood. I live in this Community and I want to see it grow and get better so I over extend myself at the school.

I recommend you give Saint Pats a try you might fall in love with the wonderful teachers and staff. They really are genuine, quality people and that's very important. The blended learning program the school offers is also very good my child does very well, and I know the curriculum def exceeds our local schools standards. They really do mean well. The parents just really suck! Not all...just a lot of them.

  This is the best school ever. They have great qualified teachers. The principal can really be helpful for familys in financial situation. The blended learning is a great idea which... read more seems to work. Sad to see some of the teachers leaving. Wish the best of luck!

  15 years ago, I started my first day here at St. Patrick's. I was one of three children of a single working mother who didn't have the funds to send... read more us to a great school but also didn't want us to have a shoddy education through the San Jose public school experience. This school was pretty much perfect for her - you could work off the tuition as a parent by working hours with the school and my siblings and I were able to have a relatively low teacher-student ratio which is pretty much impossible in public schools. The best thing about this school, for parents, is that they become a part of the school experience for the kids.

My experience here was definitely unique. My fondest memory of this school was actually before I started school at St. Patrick's. I was just dropping in for a day in first grade to see if I would want to switch to this school the next academic year and that was one of the best experiences of my life. I made so many friends that day and when I left to go home, I remember those other first graders that one day just telling me, "I can't wait to see you next year!" Needless to say, I went home to tell my mom, "I want to go to St. Patrick's!" Maybe my nostalgia is fogging my memory a bit, but I had a pretty fun experience with this school.

I won't lie and say I had the best or the worst teachers. I didn't have a perfect education, but who does? If you're a parent in a situation like my mom was 15 years ago, I can tell you that this is one of the best options out there.

  This will be our 3rd year attending St. Patrick School and we couldn't be happier.   The teachers and the principal have been wonderful, we especially love Ms. Lupe, the... read more kindergarten teacher.  My kids receive individualized instruction in their classrooms according to each of their needs.

The onsite aftercare program is a very convenient.  It is secure and the staff is fabulous.  They provide personalized homework assistance to the students that need it along with science, art projects and games.  

What started out as a search for a more convenient location to my work with aftercare has turned out to be a blessing.  Not only are my children thriving but they are doing so in a faith based environment that is affordable.

  I'm so pleased with the faith based education my son is receiving. He is now in 1st grade but has been attending since TK. I am looking forward to enrolling... read more my younger son who will be staring TK in the Fall. As Alumni of St Patrick School, it is great seeing familiar faces and knowing my kids will be receiving the same level of education I did.

  My son and I love this school. He so excited with a lot of new things in there. Thank you so much for help him everyday.

  The school is a bit hidden but i wouldn't have it any other way. I love that the school is always organized and willing to accept feedback from parents. Both... read more my daughters attend St Patricks and they love it. When my son is 4 he will be attending here as well.

  We joined St. Patrick this year. Our children needed structure and St. Patrick is delivering. The teachers are insightful and the values of the school are solid. Very happy our... read more children are a part of St. Patrick School and we are getting great results. Considering the challenges young people face today we are thrilled to have St. Patrick School providing their education.

  I am a mother of 2 children who currently attend St. Patrick School.  My children have only been enrolled at St. Patrick for a few months and I am extremely... read more satisfied with the positive impact the school has had on my children.  The school lives up to its mission statement to focus and provide a "strong academic, spiritual and moral foundation in a safe and nurturing environment..."  In addition, and equally as important to me, is the school's mission to "...celebrate its diversity."  And that it does.  St. Patrick School has already begun to nurture my children's academic progress.  The principal, Ms. Olga, recently mandated my daughter to tutoring which is offered at the school (the choice was also offered to obtain my own tutoring for my daughter).  My daughter came home relieved and ecstatic about tutoring.  She explained to me that "tutoring is fun and they help me so much! Mom, I want to go to tutoring everyday."  This has helped me as well as my daughter's homework is complete when we get home.  Every experience will be different - as different as every child.  However, St. Patrick unites all the experiences via its celebration of diversity and continued respect for the reality of our changing communities.  The school ensures an awareness within your child that you just cannot find in a public education.  This, I believe, will offer a more profound foundation for my children in a complex ever-changing world.  The education here is worth it on multiple levels. If you value the concepts and beliefs that comprise this school's mission - you'll appreciate St. Patrick.  #happymotherandhappierkids
