Principal and Parent of a Kindergartener, 3rd, & 5th Grader

St. Mary School offers an extraordinary opportunity for children. It’s a place where every child is recognized by name, where they’re not just another face in the crowd, but individuals with unique potential waiting to be unlocked. Here, we lay the groundwork for their growth, providing them with a firm foundation from which they can confidently navigate life’s challenges. Our goal is to equip every student who walks out of our doors with the skills and resilience needed to tackle anything that comes their way.

Mary VonPloennies

Parent of Alum and Current 7th Grader

We originally chose St. Mary School because we could feel the strength of the community. We watched our sons thrive in a warm and caring environment built by teachers, staff and parents. We are so grateful for our school community for nurturing their growth academically, socially and spiritually these past nine years—invaluable!

Liz DiNapoli

Alum and Current Parent of a Transitional Kindergartener

St. Mary School is important because, not only do you get a great education and a strong moral foundation, but you get this overwhelming sense of community out of it.

Laura Duganne

Parent of a 1st, 2nd, & 4th Grader

St. Mary School feels like a home. When you walk on campus, you feel like you’re with family. All the kids know each other, no matter what grade. I love that I can drop off my kids and if there’s an issue or a problem, there’s 100 other families that’ll take care of them. And I would do it too, for any one of these kids.

Kevin Gericke

Alum and Parent of a Kindergartener & 2nd Grader

The smaller class sizes, excellent teachers, and vibrant town of Los Gatos all contribute to an enriching experience that extends far beyond the classroom. It's a place where children not only receive a top-notch education but also form cherished memories that will last a lifetime. St. Marys isn't just a school; it's a home away from home, a place where every child is valued, supported, and inspired to reach their full potential.

Kari Brown

Parent of a Kindergartener, 1st Grader, & 3rd Grader

As a mom, it's incredibly reassuring to have a network of parents who truly care. If I’m running late, I know I can call another parent to help with my kids. People genuinely rally around each other, offering meal trains or carpooling. It's a whole community effort raising our children together, and it’s beautiful to see.

John Ottoboni

Grandparent of a Kindergartner and Parent of Alum (‘89, ‘90, ‘93, ‘95, ‘99)

St. Mary School has and will continue to be important to me and I am so grateful to be a part of this wonderful family.

John Connolly

Parent of a 7th & 8th Grader

St. Mary School focuses not only on academic excellence but also on developing good human beings and responsible members of society. The active involvement of parents in the school community is remarkable, and the dedication to nurturing the whole child intellectually, socially, and spiritually sets St. Marys apart from other schools.

Joe Brady

Parent of a Kindergartener & 3rd Grader

When we got here, I just immediately fell in love with it. I love the faith based education. I love the intimate size classrooms. I also love being in Downtown Los Gatos. I quickly felt the community, the overflowing parent participation and the interest in the success of the school and, frankly, the greater growth of the kids.

Jane Najour

Grandparent and Parent of Alum (‘91, ‘91, ‘93, ‘95)

At St. Mary, our family found a home, with life long family friends, and the impact on our family, on our children, is very profound.

Drew Brown

Alum and Parent of a Kindergartener, 1st Grader, & 3rd Grader

One of the things that stands out at St. Mary School is how students of all ages form friendships. It's amazing to see our first grader chatting and playing with eighth graders. This cross-grade interaction builds a unique sense of unity and helps every child feel like an important part of the community.

Brad Fry

Alumni and Current Parent of a Transitional Kindergartener & 3rd Grader

St. Mary School provides my daughters with a unique balance between the hustle and bustle of the Bay Area and a slower, small-town lifestyle. It's the best of both worlds—a place where they can receive a quality education while enjoying a close-knit community atmosphere.

Bart Giordano

Alum and Parent of a 4th, 7th, & 8th Grader

Across three generations of St. Marys students, our family developed lifelong friendships and life skills based on Catholic values, strong faith, and academic excellence.
