The mission of St. Leo the Great School is to create a Catholic environment and an academic atmosphere in which parents are recognized as the primary educators of their children. We encourage parents, faculty and staff to foster a love of learning, self-confidence, and a sense of responsibility, and to help the students discover and use their God-given potential. The faculty and staff recognizes the importance of educating the whole child. By modeling Christian attitudes and values, the school community fosters spiritual, intellectual and emotional growth as well as a concern for physical well-being. Through this process, the children of St. Leo the Great school will develop a better understanding of themselves, their world and their God. It is hoped that they will effect a positive, societal change in order to bring about a just and peaceful world.

  • Recommended December 11,2012 - Worth checking out. Outstanding staff and tech program. Coming up on their 100th anniversary. Cool Middlebrook Garden program for earth sciences. Good foundation for private high schools.*-Posted by Parent *
  • Recommended December 11,2012 - Saint Leo the Great in San Jose has been a great choice for our family! Lots of Silicon Valley tech types that have fostered a great community of learners. My kids have their own school email address and ability to log into Google Docs at home to access all their school work and communicate with their teachers. St Leo has lots of after school activities from athletics (football, volleyball, basketball, track and softball), theatre (Seussical Jr play @ San Pedro Square theatre), Odyssey of the Mind, Art, Band, Choir, Chess, Writer''s Ink, etc. They have a 4 year old PreK/TK Kindergarten readiness program. I''m most impressed with the expertise on staff. 5th grade teacher Mrs Morallos posts her math lessons online as homework (Kahn Academy style) and then works with the kids at school doing the worksheets. It has really accelerated how much math my child has learned in a short period of time (he can rewind the lesson each night and do the practice problem in preparation for the day''s work). The school has 3 dedicated math teachers, 2 Spanish teachers, 2 PE teachers and a host of resource staff.*-Posted by Parent *
