As a school in the Diocese of San Jose, St. Clare School builds strong academic and spiritual foundations that serve our children now and in the future. Our school system is a resource-rich approach to Catholic education. We are committed to redefining student engagement through robust technology and data-driven instruction, the system is transforming Catholic education. In collaboration with the National Catholic Educational Association (NCEA), the largest, private professional education association in the world, we support ongoing faith formation and the teaching mission of the Catholic Church.

Back when we were looking for a school for our oldest child, we visited all the local Catholic schools. As educators - raised in families full of educators - we paid special attention to the community of staff and faculty. It does start with them. Their spirit (and the Spirit) were strong at St. Clare. We also saw it as a place where we hoped our God-given gifts could make a difference in the community. What we didn’t anticipate is how the community would make such a difference for us. The friends we have made are fun, friendly, amazing, hard-working, faith-filled parents who are supportive of each other.

Our children thrived academically and socially, both at St. Clare and later, in high school and college. They were prepared. They were ready for bigger challenges each year at St. Clare and also when they graduated. Each teacher embraced and challenged our children to be better than they were the day before. Through our difficult times, the St. Clare community embraced our family and lifted us up. Through our good times, they rejoiced with us. What more could you ask from a Catholic community—but to walk with you as you travel the way of the Cross with Christ! (Of course, we also have great parties, too!)

With the energetic Mrs. Mantecon, we see great things in the future for St. Clare School. We know that the blessings of God will continue to guide and inspire St. Clare, its staff, students, and families. Go Wildcats!
