St Paul School

Still loving St Paul School. My grandson’s 1^st grade teacher is simply amazing. She engages the kids in such a positive manner. Helps those who need help without making them feel different. The way she and her aide help the children learn is so refreshing. My grandson is taking Kung Fu, ballet, tap dance… in addition to soccer (the season was GREAT).
Open house will be JANUARY 26, 2014 10:00 am — 1:00 pm – for parents who might be interested in enrolling their children in a GREAT school.

My son has been going to SPS since Kindergarten – 5 years now. I used to live in Fairfield and traveled to the Bay Area due to my schooling. I heard so many good things about the school that I decided to check it out myself. When I arrived, immediately the principal gave me a tour and we even hung out in a classroom to see what it was like. I was sold! Kindergarten was tough for my son since he was in Montessori in Preschool. He still did not know all his letters by the time he went into 1^st Grade. By the end of 1^st Grade, my son was reading book-​S! Mr. Wizard and Mrs. Witch gave him the support (along with the Fabulous Mrs. Gray). Wow! I just thought, great, what is 2^nd Grade going to be like? 2^nd Grade – Busy Bees with Queen Bee Miss J. Gray (yes, daughter of Mrs. Gray). My son was reading at 4^th grade level! Wow! 3^rd Grade was tough again, but the support from Mrs. Tucker, he went on SWIMMING! Now 4^th, Mrs. Sandoval. I was blessed to have a week off work to volunteer for the week in the class. It is amazing how much the kids love her and respect her. I love the UNITY that there is in SPS. It’s a family, «where everyone knows your name»! I have since moved back to the Bay Area (Hercules area). I have heard of «other» catholic schools and even visited some of them. I didn’t feel the «family-​togetherness» in the other schools. So glad I choose SPS! 4 more years to go and it will be so worth it!

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.

I am an alumni of St. Paul’s as are my brother and sister and my brother-​in-​law. My nieces and nephews have attended/​currently attend/​will soon attend this school as well. My family has been a part of St. Paul Church since 1970 and I have seen the school and the church go through many changes, but one thing remains the same– the sense of family. It’s a small school where everyone looks out for each other’s as their own, you don’t see that very much anymore and it’s something that I think is worth sharing!
