In a digital-first world, cursive writing remains a powerful tool for learning. Research shows that handwriting strengthens brain development, memory, and critical thinking in ways typing cannot. At St. Victor School, we teach cursive as part of a balanced educational philosophy—embracing innovation while holding on to proven practices that help students think deeply, communicate clearly, and learn with purpose.
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.
