Stevens Creek Elementary School

Highly recommend FASSV as a rich Bicultural and Bilingual school in bay area!

St. Simon Parish School in Los Altos has been one of the best decisions for our children. They are thriving academically and growing into kind, respectful individuals. The school emphasizes character development through the lens of Catholic values. While students attend Mass, the focus is on living the principles of the faith: kindness, humility, compassion, and service, which are a part of daily life at the school. We especially appreciate how the curriculum encourages civic responsibility. Students participate in charitable activities and volunteer efforts, helping them develop empathy and a strong sense of community.The teachers are caring, dedicated, and attentive to each child’s needs. They create a safe and engaging environment where students can succeed. Beyond the core academics, the school offers a robust enrichment program and talented resource teachers who round out the curriculum:- The dedicated art teacher works with grades K–8, introducing various techniques and tailoring projects by grade level.- The athletic PE teachers emphasize fitness, sportsmanship, and healthy living through varied activities.- The music teacher brings formal training and passion, teaching instruments across grades and leading the children’s choir.- Spanish is introduced in Kindergarten and continues as an elective in middle school, taught by two energetic and engaging instructors.- The science teachers are passionate about STEM and create hands-on learning opportunities.Our children haven’t faced significant conflicts with classmates, but we trust the school’s leadership to handle behavioral concerns equitably and carefully. Speaking of leadership, the principal leads with compassion, humility, and a visible commitment to every aspect of the school community. Her presence and engagement make a tremendous difference.St. Simon Parish School has become more than just a place of learning; it’s a community. We’re proud to be a part of it and grateful our children are growing up in such a nurturing, values-based environment.
