We love this school, and would highly recommend it to any familly who's looking for a great learning enviroment for their preschoolers. We like that the class is small in size and teacher - student ratio is high so that each teacher gets to know each child, and can pay proper attention to their different needs and learning capabilities. We also love the fun and rich activities the school has arranged to the students and families all throughout the school year. Our son really thrived over the last year and we can see positive improvement in his manner, character, skills and truth in Christinanity. The shool is full of loving and caring staffs and each one knows about each other. A few of our favorites are the weekly chapel days where the students would bring coins and prepare food as offering to those who are in need and practice prayers and singing in the Chapel, and that the family would volunteer in varies activities to earn service hours which offers a great opportunities for different families to get to know each other and be more engaged in the school activities.

This school is amazing! My children attended Bethel for two years and I can't say enough great things about it. The teachers are excellent,academic standards are high,the extra programs at no additional cost are awesome ie: Chapel presentations,music,physical education, art and computer lab. The before and after school programs are great and drop offs were really smooth. Alot of times the kids didn't want to leave which was a good sign.

This school is wonderful Pre-School through 5th grade campus in Cupertino. It's a small, well-established school with room to add more students. Warm, loving, well-equipped teachers. Strong support for children with some learning challenges; small class sizes mean children get personal attention from the teacher and solid, differentiated instruction. The Foundational Curriculum is strong and challenging, and supplements include Art, Music, P.E., Computers, Spanish, Field Trips, and Opportunities for public speaking. Lots of opportunity for parents to assist in the classroom and other places on campus within in a strong, and welcoming community. Our son loves attending Bethel, and they encourage his love of learning.

Awesome school! Here are what I like about the school: -small class size: less than 15 students. One teacher with a part-time TA. My son is able to receive a lot of attention from the teacher. They even have regular 1:1 time. My friends worked so hard to send their kids to those famous public schools which there are more than 35 kids in one class. I really doubt how much attention they can get from the teacher. -Very nice play ground and spacious play area for kids running around to burn their energy. I especially love the shade at the play ground. My son didn't get the sun burn since he switched to this school - Great classes: They offer PE, ART, and computer classes. The PE teacher even offer sports activities such as soccer and baseball during the lunch break. My son is looking forward to lunch break every single day cause of it. - My son's teacher Mrs O'Dell is AMAZING. It took her only one and half semester to convert my son into a book lover. Now he can read and love reading, he enjoys doing math, he writes 10x better and he builds so much confidence throughout the learning experience.

Beside the cool things mentioned by the previous parents, recently Bethel has added enhancement to its academic program, such as writing, Language and art, and math above CA standard. The principle is willing to receive parents' feedback to improve overall school program.

Bethel Lutheran is a wonderful, nurturing Christian school. The JK teachers are excellent, as are the preschool teachers. My daughter is 5-years-old and is in JK. Unfortunately, she's the only girl in her class out of 14 boys, but she's still having a great education. Many wonderful field trips including the Humane Society of Silicon Valley, plays, museums, petting farms, and more. I'm very pleased with the amount of learning and maturity she's achieved this year. Some cool things: uniforms are a great way to neutralize morning battles, the principal is present for after school extended care, class sizes are super tiny and attentive, the PE education is really thorough, chapel presentations help build public speaking skills, and the OPO fundraising activities build a much-needed sense of community. I"m a big fan of Bethel!

My son attended this school for less than a year in 5th grade. It took a month or two for him to settle in the new environment but his teacher was very supportive. Principal is always walking around campus and available for parents to talk to. Small classroom size allows for the teacher to pay attention to your child. My son loved his 5th grade teacher. He spent extra time after school frequently to help my son, (and others) organize his work and help with his assignments. The program was academically challenging. He had HW in Math, Science, Social Studies, English everyday/ weekly. The program is all rounded - PE, Computers,Music - guitar, Wednesday Chapel, Science camp. Although we are not Christians we were happy that our child was learning moral values and respect for God. We were overall happy with the school. Would highly recommend.
