General Info

In partnership with family and Church, the St. Martin School community strives to provide a safe and nurturing environment reflective of our Catholic identity and in which the teachings of Jesus Christ can be learned and lived. As educators, we strive to create an atmosphere of learning that will prepare knowledgeable, creative, and responsible individuals who have a desire for life-long learning and who are active participants in their community. We believe that education is a cooperative venture of exploration, interaction and respectful discovery of self, others, and the world. This takes place most effectively in an atmosphere that promotes cultural development and fosters the spiritual, social/psychological, academic, and physical potentials of each student. Saint Martin is one of twenty-eight elementary schools in the Diocese of San Jose. Established in 1953 as a parish school, Saint Martin continues to provide quality Catholic Education to its students. Originally staffed by nuns of the Order of St. Joseph of Wichita Kansas, the school is now staffed by lay faculty who teach to a potential student population of 325 students in classes ranging from Preschool to Eighth grade.
