Overview
Redeemer School: Where we are growing confident young minds in Character, Intellect and Faith.
Our student experience spans from early childhood through middle school, providing well-rounded academic programs and rich traditions that develop responsible, respectful young adults who take ownership and have an attitude of caring for others.
Since 1957, we have been providing an award-winning Christian education to children grades TK-8, and are ranked one of the top private schools on the Peninsula.
Chapel & Coffee Open House: Friday, March 28 from 8-9:30am. RSVP HERE! Join us for one of our famous Friday chapels! At Redeemer, chapel is not a chore. Our sense of community and students' love of Jesus is palpable. We can't wait for you to experience the celebration, joy and praise that fill this sanctuary each week! Coffee & pastries will be served from 8-8:30am, followed by a 30-minute all-school chapel service and an introduction to/tour of our school.
At St. Pius School, our primary aim is to be a community of faith and our goal is to nourish each child's spiritual, academic, physical, social and emotional growth.
We feel that we can only achieve these goals with the full cooperation of the parents.
We encourage our students to put forth their best effort at all times, and we daily provide an environment where students may feel comfortable and safe so that they may work to their fullest potential.
St. Pius School is committed to carrying out the ministry of Jesus Christ in the education of youth.
We emphasize the education of the whole person, fostering spiritual, intellectual, social, physical, and psychological growth.
We strive, in partnership with the family and parish, to provide a quality education in a Catholic environment of peace, security, and love.
