Charger Chronicle

At St. Victor School, we believe Catholic education is an investment — one that grows stronger over time. Like a sunflower, when children are given the light, care, and support they need, they bloom. Financial assistance helps ensure access to a faith-filled education where every child is welcomed, nurtured, and given the opportunity to grow alongside a diverse and caring community.

During the Season of Joy, St. Victor School celebrates Advent through creativity, gratitude, and community. From student-decorated Christmas in the Park trees to an evening of carols, Las Posadas, and cherished traditions, students learn to share their gifts, practice kindness, and reflect on what truly matters. These moments reveal how faith, joy, and community come together to nurture children with purpose and care.

Discover how St. Victor students practice gratitude through meaningful service projects this Thanksgiving. Our 2nd, 3rd, and 4th graders share early updates: writing letters to troops, decorating Thanksgiving meals with Loaves & Fishes, and recycling cans to support Dominican Scholarships. These projects reflect our Catholic values and whole-child learning approach.

Each November, St. Victor School celebrates a joyful month of reading through our Read-A-Thon and Scholastic Book Fair. These traditions nurture lifelong learners, spark curiosity, and strengthen our Parent Partnership. Students explore new stories, families read together, and our community comes alive with a shared love of books.

At St. Victor School, every big dream begins with a Little Charger. Our preschool and kindergarten programs balance play-based exploration with a strong academic foundation in phonics, literacy, and social-emotional learning — helping every child grow in confidence, faith, and curiosity as a lifelong learner.

At St. Victor School, a private Catholic school in San Jose’s Berryessa neighborhood, students discover a lifelong love of reading through joyful experiences. From preschool storytime and mindful reading moments to weekly library visits and family partnerships, we nurture curiosity, confidence, and creativity. By balancing academics with play and wonder, St. Victor shapes lifelong learners who love to read and love to learn.

The 2025–2026 school year is off to a bright start at St. Victor School! From our youngest Little Chargers to middle school leaders, students are growing in faith, knowledge, and confidence. Guided by our new motto — Charger today. Leader tomorrow. Christ always. — we nurture each child to learn with purpose, lead with heart, and live their faith every day.
