Description
Founded by the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in 1956, St. Patrick School has provided a quality Catholic Education for children in Rodeo, Hercules, and Crockett. We offer a Pre-kindergarten through Eighth grade curriculum and are committed to excellence in 21st century Catholic education. Visit our web site and learn about St. Patrick School and all we have to offer your child.
Keep in mind the following key factors about Catholic education:
Accessibility is key to any Catholic school. We want to make sure that St. Patrick School is open to all who desire a high quality Catholic education regardless of your station in life. One of our most enduring strengths is our great diversity. We are home to many different cultures, families from varying socio-economic positions and to those who do not share the Catholic faith. All are welcome! As a Catholic school we celebrate our catholicity with all who enter our doors.
Affordability may be a stumbling block for those choosing a non-public school. At St. Patrick School we are determined to open our doors to all who desire a Catholic education for their child. For those who qualify, there are several sources of tuition assistance available. First, the school itself makes grants available to qualifying families through our Tuition Assistance Program, known as TAP. There are also two main outside sources of assistance as well, the BASIC Fund available to all new families and FACE, Family Aid for Catholic Education made available by the Oakland Diocese. All tuition assistance programs are needs based.
Finally, and most importantly, we are an excellent academic institution committed to 21st century education. We believe that our students must be prepared for the world in which they live and that is why we create a collaborative, technology rich curriculum that challenges our students to reach beyond their potential. As of the 2010-2011 school year we have fully implemented our one to one laptop program in the middle school grades. Each student in grades 6, 7, and 8 is given access to a computer for use at school in each of our Middle School classrooms. We have an additional 40 computers available to students in grades K-5 in our main school Computer Lab.
