The Sacred Heart Nativity Schools transform lives through education by laying the foundation for young students to succeed in college prep high school programs, post-secondary education (college, trade/tech/vocational, military service), and beyond. The Schools provide a Catholic education for students of low-income families with priority given to those of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish community. In the Jesuit tradition, Nativity scholars are guided and accompanied as they deepen their relationship with God to become people for others.

We are a Jesuit, faith-based Nativity middle school. Located in the Washington Gardner neighborhood of San Jose, we support an underserved, urban community within the Sacred Heart Parish.

We believe that everyone is created in the image of God. To that end, we provide a holistic education that supports the growth and development of a child intellectually, spiritually, physically, and emotionally. Our Ignatian tradition nurtures each student to grow within our Catholic faith, to act according to our faith, and to develop a lifelong relationship with God.

Our educational program seeks to create youth who are architects of their own lives and contributing members of their communities. We believe that the NativityMiguel school structure is the most effective model in educating, building healthy self-esteem, and empowering our students. This includes an extended school day and year, ongoing assessment and inquiry, strong partnerships with our families, and support beyond eighth-grade graduation.

We seek partnerships with our families and parish, to build a community that supports our students, preparing them to be forces of courage, compassion, understanding, insight, and moral fortitude in the world.

We instill in our students the Jesuit, faith-based commitments beyond oneself, to become people of competence, conscience, and compassion.
