This is a fantastic smaller school I'm hesitant to even mention because I enjoy the small community this campus encompasses but I want to see the school thrive! Your child isn't just a number at this school. the instructors and administration care about the children and you can see it in how they interact with each other. Being Catholic, it was important that my son be influenced by instructors and administrators who have the same values. The campus even employs a resource instructor to help struggling students who need just a little bit of help. It was such a relief finding this school coming from a big elementary school where my son was just lost in an ocean of students. They offer before and after school care at very reasonable prices and it has been a lifesaver for me. The principal is so engaging and personable and the school is very blessed to have her there. If you are looking for a school with a solid catholic curriculum, instructors who care, and a friendly community, St. Bridget should not be looked over.

St. Bridget is a great school! My son loves this school. He wouldn't want any other schools. The school makes the students, and the parents as well, feel that we are a big family. The students pretty much know each other and care for each other. The faculties and staff are really attentive to the needs of the students and they are very transparent. They offer a balance of academic and extracurricular activities to hone the students to become successful in life without compromising their faith and values.

We found this hidden gem while looking for private schools in the SF Valley. The school staff and the parents who participate in their child`s well-being are what make this school a level above the rest of the private elementary schools. The group of kids at this school graduate and are accepted into wonderful high schools. The lower grades are nurtured and taught to become thriving, happy, and healthy individuals with a zest for spiritual knowledge. What I like about this school is the fact that everyone feels welcomed. Sometimes private schools can feel like there`s an exclusive click or group and it`s not that way here. And the student body is diverse, kids coming from various cultures! The staff really does respect everyone, children and parents. I highly recommend this school. It`s affordable, it`s small yet in size yet big in excellence!

We enrolled our son late but this School still accommodates us and helps us with the difficulties we are experiencing with my son as he transitions from a daycare environment to big school scenario. St. BOSS is like a family, you will be at peace and worry-free knowing your kids are in good hands. Also, we are born and baptized Catholic, so it's a big help for us to open our son with the teaching and catholic guidance that will help him eventually while growing.

I am a proud alumnus of St. Bridget of Sweden school. I spent seven wonderful years of my childhood at the school. So when deciding on where to send my daughter, St. Bridget`s was an easy decision. Although all my old teachers and staff have gone, the school spirit remains the same. The teachers and staff are all friendly and helpful; they make their students their number one priority and have helped navigate parents through these difficult times. The school is also welcoming to all denominations who would like their children educated in the word of God. We look forward to many more years with the school and hope more wonder parents will choose to be part of our growing community.

St. Bridget of Sweden is a hidden gem. This school has been the biggest blessing to my daughter. Her teacher, Ms. Cruz, the aide Ms. Ramos, and the principal Mrs. Nassar all welcomed my daughter with care and warmth. All her peers, the staff, and teachers are so nice and fun, and engaging. My daughter loves her school! The school has been remodeled inside and had a new playground. There is a wonderful music program, the boy's basketball team made the playoffs and I hope they win the championship. The school has a wonderful family community feeling and I definitely recommend this school to all students.
