My mother in law recommended me this school.
I thought I would not be able to afford to have my daughter attend  Saint Patrick School but I was so happy... read more to learn that they have financial aid for parents with low income. This is the 2nd year for my daughter who's now in the 1st grade. The teachers are very experienced and cares for each students. I love the way they interact with them in the class. And the staff members are very helpful and friendly. My daughter loves her school so I couldn't be happier.

  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.

  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!

  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.

  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.

  I am so bless that I had enrollment my two children go to Saint Patrick School.  I like this school so much with three reason. Firstly, All the staffs and... read more teachers responsible, caring, and disciple the children. Secondly, each classroom has very small size for instance second grader has around 20-24 students. That why, every family know each others. Parents also know another parents. We also did community services for schooling by helping in Art Class, Field Trips need parents driving etc....Lastly, The school helps those family can not afford to pay for tuition. The school offered us with financial Aid for instance , Basic Fund, FAST, Daughter of Charity.
I am highly recommendation those family who doesn't know this school (Saint Patrick School in San Jose) you should try it out by taking a tour to this school and see it first.

  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 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

  From my 8 years at St. Patrick School, I have noticed just how great the school is at preparing students for high school and beyond. First of all, the teachers... read more are prepared with lesson plans so that the students are always learning. Teachers also use the station-rotation model where some students meet with teachers and some work independently. After some time, students switch 'stations' and some are now working with the teacher and the others are working independently. This helps create small teacher-student groups that give students a chance to ask/answer questions. Another way St. Patrick School helps prepare students for higher education is through transitioning classrooms. Some teachers specialize in different subjects, so similar to high school, for example, students will transition to another classroom for that subject. Most students, after graduation, end up attending a Catholic High School. To prepare for this, teachers help students practice for the HSPT (High School Placement Test) and how to write great essays for admission. I can say this from experience because I am student at Bellarmine College Preparatory. All in all, St. Patrick School is amazing at preparing students for their later education.
