When it was time to start researching elementary schools for my kid, I toured a few and selected the school that seemed like the best option at the time. Throughout kindergarten, things were not going as smoothly as I had hoped. I was seeing new behaviors in my child and having conversations with the teacher that surprised me. I started to get a hunch that maybe that particular school was not a great fit for our family. I heard about San Jose Christian School—albeit a tad further of a commute—and I wanted to check it out. Upon touring, it was very obvious that these administrators and teachers were not just doing their job, but they were practicing their vocation. The love and respect that they put into each phone call, each conversation, each email, each tour, etc. was exactly what I was looking for. This school is excellent. I took a chance and transferred both of my children there and have never regretted this decision. SJCS is providing a beautiful faith-based education for my kids, and I am so grateful for this. My children are thriving at SJCS. The academics, the arts (oh! The magical music program (it's touching), the faith-based, well-rounded education is unmatched. Please visit this school and see for yourself.

San Jose Christian School does exactly what it exists to do. Not only is it academically rigorous holding two accreditations, but it also strives to be a tri-fold piece of the school-church-home connection. I love that what my son is learning at school about God is the same as what he learns at home and at church. SJCS is a positive reinforcement of our personal faith.
