What makes St. Cyprian School better?
We pride ourselves on teaching excellence with our curriculum and our personal attention to each student. Our teachers are passionate about the subjects they teach and care for their students. The curriculum consists of our core competency courses, but we also have enrichment courses that teach the students the social, analytical, and technology skills that are essential in a technological and diverse world. The enrichment courses not only add educational value, but also teach the students discipline skills and add fun to their daily student life.
Mission
St. Cyprian Catholic School provides a spiritually based education to its students in a multicultural environment founded in an atmosphere of respect that is family oriented and supports the needs of today's family. We strive to meet the needs of local and commuter families and are committed to the individual growth of each student - spiritually, academically, physically, socially, and morally.
School Philosophy
We at St. Cyprian School exist to form persons who will proclaim the Good News of the Gospel throughout their lives, as responsible citizens and committed Christians. In partnership with parents, the primary educators, we are dedicated to providing our students with a viable, complete, and comprehensive Catholic education. This partnership is based on trust and genuine concern for the well being of the family.
We understand our call to the ministry of education and we seek to teach as Jesus taught. Our education challenges our students to understand their roles as contributors to each community in which they belong. We teach this message not only as a lesson to be learned, but also as a lesson to be lived. We believe Catholic education is a process of growth that engages the student in every dimension of his/her life-spiritual, intellectual, emotional, social, cultural, and physical. It is our intent, that through the students' personal growth, they may better serve the members of God's family.
St. Cyprian School adheres to the academic standards of the State of California, in conjunction with the high standards of the Diocese of San Jose. We provide a program tailored to meet the talents, abilities, and learning styles of individual students. We affirm our task to instill religious beliefs and values, afford academic lessons and experiences, and develop interpersonal skills and relationships in forming responsible, compassionate Christian citizens
