St. Mary School is a distinguished private Catholic educational institution serving children from transitional kindergarten through 8th grade. Founded in 1871, we proudly carry a long tradition of academic excellence and faith-based education. Our school is fully accredited by both the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and the Western Catholic Educational Association (WCEA), ensuring that we meet rigorous standards of educational quality. We faithfully adhere to the guidelines and directives established by the Diocese of San Jose as well as the State of California, providing a well-rounded and compliant curriculum.

At St. Mary School, our mission is to cultivate not only strong academic skills but also deep spiritual growth and a commitment to responsible citizenship. We are dedicated to nurturing each child into becoming an active learner who is prepared to thrive in high school and beyond, a person grounded in faith, and a compassionate member of the community. This commitment is reflected in our impressive track record: on average, 100% of our 8th-grade graduates gain acceptance to their first-choice Catholic or private high schools, demonstrating the effectiveness of our academic and character-building programs.

To enrich our students’ educational journey further, we offer a broad array of additional programs, including music, band, visual arts, and community service initiatives that encourage creativity and social responsibility. Understanding that financial considerations can be a barrier to quality education, we provide tuition assistance to families who qualify, ensuring that more children can benefit from the exceptional learning environment at St. Mary School.

In every aspect, St. Mary School is committed to providing a nurturing, challenging, and faith-filled education that equips students for lifelong success.
