"The supportive teachers at SPN played a big role in preparing me for high school and helping me understand what to expect. They encouraged me to ask questions and seek help when needed, which made me more confident in my learning. Thanks to them, I entered freshman year already familiar with many concepts and effective study habits that have helped me stay on top of my work. SPN also taught me valuable life skills that I still use today, helping me succeed academically, build strong friendships, and maintain my overall well-being."

"We are very satisfied with the SPN community, something that is important to our family. My children feel safe and comfortable with SPN. Our family feels connected with the SPN community from parents and families to the staff and faculty. My children and we as parents have made healthy and positive relationships with other families from school. We share time outside of school with other families which brings a level of connectedness I don't know if we would have elsewhere"

"My children are experiencing community in other ways than just friends and playdates. Faith Families is an example of community, interacting with students from all grade levels, and learning and creating for others outside of SPN. Field trips to Kids Against Hunger or the Alameda Food Bank where they work and see firsthand how their efforts help others less fortunate, for those who are in need of support. Community is not just our SPN ‘bubble,’ and that is what SPN demonstrates and provides– opportunity to explore a bigger community."

"SPN has provided the community we'd been looking for since moving to Alameda. We enjoy the friendships we've made (and our children have made) through shared classes, volunteer opportunities, and athletics."

"One of the top reasons why my husband and I chose SPN was its exceptional implementation of social-emotional learning. Over the years we have been very impressed with the age-appropriate way this curriculum is implemented. In Jr. K, our youngest was given the tools to identify and communicate his emotions, and started to identify strategies to get himself to emotional states that were conducive to learning. Now, in 5th grade, our oldest has become practiced in daily journaling, which has helped him take ownership of his goals and better manage his relationships with family members and peers. These are key skills that I wish every child (and really every adult!) could develop."

"Highly satisfied. The Faith Formation and Character Education that is provided to my children while at school mirrors the foundation from home. The school and parents truly are partners in educating the whole child."
