Merryhill San Jose Preschool & Elementary: A Place to Learn, Grow, and Thrive
Merryhill School in San Jose provides an exceptional educational experience for children from infancy through 5th grade. With two schools—one dedicated to preschool and another to elementary education—our school is committed to fostering academic excellence, personal growth, and a strong sense of community.
Preschool: A Strong Start for Lifelong Learning
Our NAEYC-accredited preschool offers more than just child care—it provides a nurturing and stimulating environment where young learners develop essential skills for success. Serving families in Santa Clara, Mountain View, Cupertino, Sunnyvale, Fremont, and Milpitas, our preschool is a trusted choice for early childhood education.
Through our Links to Learning curriculum, children infant to 5 engage in activities that build language and literacy, mathematical thinking, social-emotional skills, scientific exploration, creative expression, and global awareness. Our experienced teachers guide students through hands-on learning experiences, ensuring that they develop curiosity, confidence, and a love of learning.
Elementary: A Rigorous and Enriching Academic Experience
At our elementary campus, students in kindergarten through 5th grade benefit from a challenging, technology-rich curriculum designed to prepare them for success in the 21st century. Our program includes:
- Core subjects such as language arts, mathematics, social studies, and science
- STEM learning to encourage problem-solving and innovation
- Personalized Learning Plans that help track academic and personal growth
- 21st-century skill-building with a focus on communication, collaboration, and creativity
Students also participate in a variety of specialty classes, including Spanish, art, music, physical education, and technology, ensuring a well-rounded education that nurtures their unique talents and interests.
Beyond academics, we emphasize Dragon S.P.I.R.I.T.—encouraging students to be Strong, Persistent, Inclusive, Resilient, Innovative, and Trustworthy. Each morning, our students start the day with a morning meeting where they exchange greetings, share about themselves, and learn about their peers. Every other week, we come together as a school to focus on our Character Development Program, exploring and celebrating the 7 Habits of Happy Kids.
At Merryhill San Jose, school pride is evident in every hallway conversation, classroom activity, and small interaction throughout the day. Our supportive and engaging environment helps children feel valued, encouraged, and excited to learn.
A Strong Sense of Community and School Spirit
Merryhill San Jose is not just a school—it’s a family. We actively involve parents and caregivers in their children’s education through engaging events such as Trunk or Treat, Holiday in the Parking Lot, Coffee Chats, and School Carnivals. We also host educational competitions, including the Tech Challenge, Spelling Bee, Speech Competition, Math Competitions, and Maker Faire.
With strong teacher-student relationships, a welcoming school culture, and engaging learning experiences, our students develop confidence, resilience, and a love of learning. At Merryhill San Jose, we are proud to provide a nurturing and academically challenging environment where every child can thrive.
