The Diocese of San Jose, serving Santa Clara County in California, anchors its Catholic schools and parishes with a commitment to academic excellence. Using Renaissance Learning’s STAR assessments, diocesan educators regularly measure student reading and math growth to inform instruction, identify needs for targeted interventions, and track progress toward diocesan benchmarks, ensuring data-driven decisions support both spiritual and intellectual development across grade levels.

These tests provide teachers information regarding the strengths and weaknesses of individual students as well as the class as a whole. By administering these assessments 4 times a year, teachers are able to track and monitor student’s growth and mastery and adjust learning as needed.

Our classrooms are set up for collaborative learning. We have state of the art technology to allow shared project creation when appropriate. Our mobile furniture enables the movement into groups and circles for sharing. Our students are being prepared for a world where information and ideas are fluid and diverse talents create better outcomes. Our classrooms support the belief that together we come to better solutions. Our world-class science lab and living gardens support the Next Generation Science curriculum and enable hands-on learning. The large and bright gymnasium is home to our athletic teams and a place for many community events. We are blessed to be part of St. Justin Parish and attend Mass in the beautiful church.

Service to others is a central theme of our Catholic faith and is an integral part of our curriculum. We foster community outreach and service beginning in Kindergarten and instill a commitment to service in our students.

Our educational philosophy is that technology supports learning and is to be used when it aides the educational process. Our classrooms are internet enabled and have state of the art technology.

Each student has 1:1 access to an iPad.

Our internet usage is monitored and limited as needed to ensure appropriate usage.
