Stratford School

Our son attends the Jr K program run by Ms Weiss. He’s November-​born so we could have also tried to push him directly into Kindergarten, but we’re glad we decided to put him in Jr K instead.
We feel the gentler pace is a better way to set him up for success in Kindergarten (instead of him being overwhelmed). He’s still learning a lot though, in fact we’re constantly amazed by the breadth of material covered in class.
Most importantly, our son loves it! We’ve moved several times recently so in addition to a place that challenges, disciplines and stretches him, we were also looking for him to feel comfortable and loved.
Ms Weiss and the other teachers achieve the balance everyday. Highly recommend the school, and especially the Jr K program if your kid has a birthday after July.

Love this school! The curriculum is excellent as compared to other schools I have visited. They offer a good balance of everything. I love their art program and I like the fact that they have Spanish and music as well. Class size is also great with great diversity of students. Classrooms are organized and kept clean all the time. The teachers are very nice and my daughter’s teacher, Ms. Rupali is absolutely great! My daughter has learned so much from this school not just academically but good manners as well.
Thank you so much!

This school has terrible customer service compared with the other locations. I visited them all in 2 days and it was a big difference when I got in to this campus.
First the person who give us the tour was in the hurry and did not give us much attention. The playground is super small and I did not like the fact that small kids did not have a separated playground like the other locations do.
I recommend you to visit all the locations for you to feel he difference.

Stratford School is finally opening a more centrally located school for those of us in the heart of San Jose and Santa Clara.
Checked out the just opening Santa Clara campus located at the school buildings behind Church of The Valley. I liked the clean remodel of the classrooms. The playground is too small for the number of kids, but otherwise the campus is just fine.
Stratford has several preschool classes and a soon to open Kindergarten. Beyond Kindergarten you’ll need to look at St. Clare School if you want to keep a top notch private education for your kids.
