Two of the greatest things about SJST are the level of parental involvement and the leadership of the principal. The majority of the parents are committed and involved, and that makes it possible for the principal to execute the plans she has for the school, which in turn, benefit all of our children.
... Read more I also feel that the tuition is quite reasonable, considering the level of attention the students receive. The class sizes are certainly smaller than public schools, and that to me has a great impact on a student's success and ability to learn. The school is small enough for everyone to know one another and that leads to a sense of security and safety. I have one daughter in the school and so far have been thrilled with her experience.

I was a child who hated school. I remember being 12 years old and absolutely terrified of graduating from elementary school to the local junior high school.

This is who I trust to give her every academic edge that she will need in this competitive world.' Personally, I wouldn't trust anyplace else! Read less
