We LOVE Saint A's!!! Teachers and staff are warm and welcoming on campus and around the community. I am proud to send my children here. Parents are also fantastic-- a great sense of community. Spanish starts in kindergarten as does track. A rare gem of an elementary school!!!

We are heading into our 5th year at St. A's and can't say enough about the faculty, staff and school in general. From small group learning to faith centered activities to athletics, St. A's is truly focused on not only a very strong academic curriculum, but in supporting the "whole" child and we are thrilled with our children's progress in all of these areas. We consider ourselves very fortunate to be a part of the St. A's Community.

St. Apollinaris has been the best choice for my kids! They are being challenged academically, have many extras (like Spanish since kinder), and are learning to be contributing members of our community. The principal and staff are very responsive to parents and children alike.

St. Apollinaris has provided an excellent education for our daughters over the last 2 years. In addition they have enriched the meaning of faith and family values in such a positive way! We couldn't be happier with our choice and look forward to many more years.

We have been a part of this faith filled school community for two years and have enjoyed the academic rigor, family communication, and personal connection. We are looking forward to many more years here!

St. Apollinaris is an excellent school and works with the child and parent to make the experience the best in academics and spiritual growth!

St. Apollinaris assessed my son and placed him in the correct grade based on his ability, not his birthday. None of the other schools that we looked at would do that for him. We are so thankful! The teachers are outstanding and they have been wonderful to my son. He is getting an excellent education. We are very happy to be at this school.

St Apollinaris has provided an excellent education for our daughters. In addition to the academic excellence, St Apollinaris has provided an environment with positive faith based values. We couldn't be happier.

My family has been attending this school for over 4 years. Even before my son started kindergarten we were embraced by the school's sense of community. We commute from out of town to attend this school because of the education and values are children are exposed to. I would highly recommend St. Apollinaris to anyone considering private education.

St. Apollinaris is the best school in the Bay Area! I'm so proud that my kids can attend this wonderuful school. The teachers and administration care so much about the students. We are lucky to be here.

We are happy to be returning after a successful year. What has been the most important to us, and I think invaluable, is how accesible the educators, staff and administrators have been. I am looking forward to the upcoming years, and getting to know more of the St. A's family. I have found the families to be welcoming and inclusive, and the school to be a positive educational environment.

Not worth the money. The teachers don't know how your child is doing, as they have teachers assistant, the teacher only teaches and the assistant does the rest of the job like helping kids in class and checking homework.If your child is in trouble they require your immediate attention, however if they do something that you are not happy about they treat as if you are making a big deal. The principal is not really involved with the kids. The families are very judgmental and racist at times.

My children have been at this school for 8 years now and we couldn't be happier. The faculty and staff is very supportive and accommodating, the children are engaged and want to learn, and the families are friendly and eager to jump in and help out. There are many ways that your children's talents can flourish and they really feel a part of a bigger family at St. A's. If we had to do it all over again, we would still choose St. A's above all others!!

We have been at St. Apollinaris for 9 years now and are very happy. The school, teachers, principal, sports, kids and families are great! I appreciate that my kids are in a safe supportive environment where they can get a great education, have many opportunities to participate in both sports and volunteer work, and make strong friendships. As parents, we have met so many great families and developed life-long friends. I highly recommend St. A's!

We have been at St. As for nine years now and couldn't be happier. The staff and students are wonderful. Our children are becoming wonderful people who are empathetic, kind and well educated. Our oldest is going to high school next year and is getting to skip to geometry and Spanish 2. That's a good school.

My children have been at this school for 4 years. There is a new Principal as of 2011 and she is amazing. The school will only get better as time goes on. The outdoor area is very nice and spacious. There is plenty of green space and a nice outdoor lunch area. The school is always clean and kept looking and feeling very professional without being sterile. When faced with mediocre public schools or the other higher tuition private schools, I believe this one is the best value in the area as well as the best choice academically (and I am a teacher). Whether you are Catholic or not, it is a safe and nurturing environment. Some of the teachers are truly excellent and very challenging. They are all friendly and try hard to get to know the kids in the lower grades. It is a family-like atmosphere. The Kindergarten teacher is a real gem. I have heard there is a waiting but don't be discouraged. I was on one a few years back and we got in anyway. I love the uniforms. It makes my life easier. My only complaint would be that I would like hot lunch every day instead of 3 days per week and I wish they had more Spanish language class time each week.

My son is now a 1st grader at St. A's. We are extremely happy with the education he has been getting. This year we have had some wonderful new changes and are so pleased with the direction the school is headed. The education is top notch with the added bonus of a fabulous music, art, PE, library, and (soon to be reintroduced) theater programs.
