Nativity Elementary School

I am a proud teacher at Nativity Catholic School and feel honored to serve the community of El Monte. As a member of the staff I can say that Nativity is a great environment to teach in and I am privileged to work for a fantastic principal who puts the students' needs first and has worked hard to make the school great! She has worked to get technology into the classrooms, worked to receive new programs to improve literacy, and is constantly looking for the best options available. Our staff is constantly learning to provide our students with the best education possible. We work well together and that affects student learning for the positive. We have wonderful programs that help mold our students to be empowered, active, and faithful. In addition to wonderful students we have been blessed with fantastic parents who understand the importance of a quality Catholic education and the need for their support. The parents and community are always willing and able to help when and where they are needed. I am truly blessed to be a part of all the great things that are happening at Nativity Catholic School.

I love working at Nativity School with the many qualified and committed teachers and staff. A true "family" atmosphere exists where students, parents, faculty and staff truly care about the well-being of one another. Students are challenged to live our mission statement and "become the person God intended them to be." The curriculum is challenging and students who need extra help, due to learning difference/disabilities, receive the help they need to succeed.

Nativity Catholic School is the best kept secret in town! If you want your child to be challenged academically, receive and understand not only a catholic religion, but also character building values, and be capable of interjecting these three components in his/her everyday life, then this should be your school of choice. I ve been with Nativity for seven years and plan to be here until my youngest graduates from 8th grade. Through these seven years with Nativity I learned that the tuition payment we make is really a small portion of the true cost of a private education. I learned that Nativity is a not-for-profit organization, which means that the money it collects goes back to the school, its students, and to pay bills, and not to enrich the pockets of a few. I learned also that Nativity relies heavily on grants, sponsorship of our community, and parent donations to keep its doors open and make tuition affordable to many.

My children have been at Nativity since my first started Kinder in 2000 and I have never had to complain once.. I feel this school set the basline for my kids and most of all taught them the skills and education they needed to suceed in a private high school. It"s up to the parents to help guide and yes push a little to get them over any obstacles they have to overcome. It prepped my son for English and Math for high school in which he is now in honors classes thanks to Nativity, If there are any negative concerns they need to be addressed ASAP either with the teachers or staff so as to get the student on the right track again.Money issues YES it does cost and yes Catholic schools need as much funds as possible to help keep up with curriculum adv. studies as well upkeep

This school is great because the teachers and staff are really hands on with the children. I find alot of patience from them and overall it looks like the teachers and staff like what they do! The school as a whole is like one big family and the children learn morals, character and spiritual values. The school strives to make the children grow and exceed not only in their education but as individuals, and to help the children and have the children succeed!

I attended nativity and now so does my daughter. We are all hard working parents and make sacrifices to enable our children to go to a private school. Nativity set the foundation for me and my sisters and now is setting the foundation for my daughter. Trustworthiness Respect Responsibility Fairness Caring Citizenship.
