I absolutely love this school. My daughter started here this year after an unfavorable experience in a local public school. Saint Pauls raises the bad on the well rounded education they provide. Getting my daughter up for school is a piece of cake. Why? Because she loves this school, the teachers. And I love knowing my daughter is receiving a quality education and is happy and excited to learn. They encourage parent involvement. They provide an amazing moral structure that cannot be matched. There is no other school for us.
My son is currently in kindergarten and absolutely loves it. There is a new principle, Mrs. A., who has shown to be a great leader. She is friendly, knowledgable, involved and accesible. My son adores his teachers. His kindergarten teachers have been wonderful-very warm, kind, nuturing and involved. And the communication and responsiveness from the teachers (as well as the staff) has been amazing! St Paul School has exceeded my expectations in every way-academically, socially, emotionally and spiritually.
I am very happy with my decision to send my child to this school as she embarked her new journey in school as a Kindergartener. Right away, my daughter and I felt very welcome, as if we had known the staff for years. The teachers, staff, and fellow classmates truly make an effort to get to know you and your family's needs on a very personal level, and I am looking forward to seeing her grow in this school both emotionally and spiritually in this loving and safe environment in the coming years. I feel the staff do a wonderful job to ensure that the children are safe, and that heir needs are met. They always have many fun and creative activities planned for the children, and my daughter looks forwards to going to school everyday.
As a new parent to this school I am very happy to have my child here. The teachers and various caregivers are very loving. My child loves the afterschool care too. It is a wonderful feeling to drop off your children in an environment that feels safe along with knowing they are being provided a great education.
My daughter who is in Kindergarten loves the school. Everyday she looks forward to going to school. Why? Because everybody is great - from the teachers, to the staff, to the Principal. They make learning not only educational but also fun. Not only that, the minute I leave her in school, I feel secured that she is in good hands, safe and would be learning something new. I hear it from her the minute she gets home. And she can't wait for the next day. Isn't that great that your child is always eager to go to school?
After touring 7 or 8 schools for Kindergarten, it was serendipitous to have found St. Paul's School for my daughter. The emphasis on reading and promoting a love for books is evident across the grade levels. The new principal has made an immediate impact and has made it a very exciting time for the teachers, students and families with the integration of technology into the classroom. The actual school building is old and the yard needs work but all of these are trumped by the quality and dedication of the teachers and the parents who help out. The child also learns to be a good example to the younger kids, with each child becoming more responsible as they grow into young adults. I can't wait to see my daughter go through 1st and 2nd grades and to move on through to middle school and be ready for high school.
This is a very good school. Its curriculum provides learning tools, skills and attitudes that will be needed by the students in pursuing their studies to be come successful individuals. They provide a well-balanced program to develop academic competence and good values. My daughter is attending this school since 2006 and it is like being a part of a family. She is now in 4th grade while my son is also learning a lot in Kindergarten. You are all invited to the school's open house on Sunday, January 30 from 11:30am-1:30 pm.
St. Paul School is a wonderful fit for my child. It is a small tightly knit community that truly cares for one another. The teachers are great and are always willing to work with the parents and the child. The Principal is wonderful and her door is always open. Great school.
Our families have had a long tradition of attending St. Paul School- since the 1960's. When the time came to have our daughter start kindergarten, it was a no brainer! St. Paul embraced our daughter (c/o 2010) just as I hoped and this has continued for our two sons (c/o 2013 and c/o 2018). Our youngest will be starting Junior Kindergarten in the Fall and she is so excited as she already feels at home! Thank you to the principal and all the amazing teachers and staff who have made our children's education a wonderful experience and who have given them a second home! We would recommend St. Paul to anyone looking for a school where their child will feel safe, loved and well educated! I know choosing a school can be a daunting task as I experienced this when looking for a pre-school for our first-born. We are so excited that St. Paul is now offering a junior kindergarten class! Good luck in your search and I hope you look into St. Paul School in San Pablo!
I love the faith formation that the kids get at school, the small community. Most of all the great Principal that goes out of her way to make sure everything is taking care off. Her open door policy is the best.
