Why Choose Holy Family School?

       

Holy Family School is a vibrant and successful Catholic school located in the heart of San Jose and Silicon Valley.  Evidence of this success includes the following:

  • 98% of our graduates are accepted at their high school of first choice.
  • We continue to receive full 6-year accreditations (the maximum allowable), as well as strong commendations, from the Western Association of Schools & Colleges (WASC).
  • We have a curriculum that reaches the whole child.
  • We continue to upgrade technology so that our students will possess the skills necessary for success in today’s environment.
  • Parents of our students are very involved in school activities.  Each year, total volunteer hours are in excess of 25,000!
  • We have award-winning, fully-credentialed teachers, a number of whom have taught at Holy Family for many years.
  • Our facilities are modern and safe, with future improvements anticipated.
  • Our enrollment is stable.
  • Our budget is balanced and our finances are stable.

For the 2010 school year, our alumni guess speaker for Catholic School's Week was Santina Melander Bowers. Tina graduated in 1993 and currently is employed as one of our part-time fourth grade teachers. Tina is just one example of how our alumni return to the Holy Family School community.
