Feedback from our Community - 2009-2010 School Year

SJC School has enhanced my daughter’s confidence level in her learning, boosted her social skills, broadened her values, instilled religious beliefs, plus motivated and influenced her to take on a school leadership role in the near future. I am glad I made the right choice in choosing SJC School for my daughter, and I have yet to be disappointed after witnessing and experiencing her continued growth at SJC.

2009 was our first year at SJC and we are very happy that we have chosen this school. The school staff and teachers are very knowledgeable, patient, and responsible. There is a good balance of academics, sports, and fun activities at SJC. Kids are encouraged to take part in a variety of challenging school projects. The principal, Ms. Lyons, stays very involved in all the school activities and is a true leader!

On December 31, our family had the privilege of attending Mrs. Donna Brock’s Funeral Mass. As always, I was so touched and comforted by our wonderful community. My list of reasons for loving SJC could fill a book. It is my home away from home, it is people who share my morals, and most of all St. Joseph’s community is filled with people like me who will do just about anything to send our kids here. And as my children get older it is such a pleasure to see the appreciation they have for their ol’ stomping grounds. What I really want to say is how comforting it is to come to St. Joseph’s. It was so moving to see all of the teachers and priests at the Funeral Mass together – it was just beautiful. Donna would have been so honored. I was overcome by all of the kindnesses and closeness, and this wasn’t the first time - it’s happened so many times in my years here. I just had to take a minute to tell you. I want you to know how grateful I am to be a part of this family. I am truly blessed and so are my children. It’s nice to share both joy and sadness with such great people.

SJC is a very unique school. It not only prepares our children academically and spiritually, it teaches them to be thankful, respectful, and joyful. It teaches our children good manners, to be polite and socially adept. It builds our children’s characters and helps them to grow and face future challenges in life. My husband and I feel very safe and secure to have our children at SJC. SJC has an exceptional team with a great principal and staff. There is no other school that prepares our children as well as SJC does.

Our older son received 9 years of excellent education from St. Joseph of Cupertino (SJC), went to a Catholic high school, and now attends a Catholic university. Our younger son is currently a 3rd grade student at SJC. Fifteen years ago when we were searching for a school for our older son, we worried a lot. As working parents, we wanted to make sure we left our child in the best hands. Luckily we found SJC. The Catholic education from SJC not only built a strong base for our children, but also strengthened our faith in God. One of our friends once asked us if our sons’ school was as strict as what she saw in some movies about old Catholic schools. We laughed and told her our own experiences. We believe that discipline is a very important part of our life. Unfortunately, people often relate discipline with punishment. Actually, SJC has a unique discipline system that’s built by many loving hearts. The “Bully-Free” rule is one of the examples. Positive discipline helps each student be a better person, and brings them to the path of being successful. If we say that sending our first child to SJC was by luck, then sending our second child to SJC was our decision. We have no doubt that we made the right decision.
