St. Clare Elementary School

St. Clare is a wonderful traditional environment for kids to learn. Strong academics and a real focus on developing the moral side of our kids. Faculty is caring the the environment is real. By that I mean it is a really down to earth private school. Very high diversity both ethnic and economic.

Well rounded school from academics, child care and diversity. Anti-bullying is ingrained thanks to their Silver Box program (use only kind words). With two working parents, we feel very secure of our child's safety and well being.

St. Clare School is a loving community that helps children learn what it means to be a good person in addition to teaching the other stuff (reading ,writing , mathematics, history, etc.).

We looked at many, many schools before selecting St. Clare School. The teachers are wonderful, talented and caring, the administration is outstanding, but the other St. Clare families are what make the school amazing! The school is diverse, academically challenging and a safe place to learn and grow. The school offers before and after care and often day care during spring and winter break. Summer camp is highly attended and includes camp fire nights and weekly field trips. We know our children are learning and developing in a supportive environment.

I moved my child here from another nearby Catholic School. The leadership is amazing at this school starting with the principal. The teachers are exceptional starting with Mrs. Rader. Each child is taught at his or her own level and needs without making them feel as if they are ill equipped to be with the other students. Love this school so much!

Saint Clare School is a gem. It is one of the oldest schools in California. It was built next to the Mission Santa Clara to help educate the children of the early settlers to the area. If you are looking for a school that incorporates an excellent reading & science programs with an active community of involved parents and good Catholic values you won't find a better school (we looked at over 5 other top private schools). The best advice we got was to look closely at the kids in Kindergarten and 8th grade (to see their inputs & outputs). The school has historical ties to the mission, Santa Clara University (the profs send their kids here and the college kids tutor at the school), Bellarmine and Notre Dame High School (both used to be next door). It is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges and the Western Catholic Educational
