Dedicated Leaders & Expert Teachers

At our school, everyone works together to make sure students and families feel happy and supported. Our leaders, staff, and teachers are all here to help. Our teachers love sharing what they know, whether it’s about reading, music, or outer space! They make learning fun and exciting, helping students explore new things and find what they love. Together, we create a special place where students can grow and learn every day.

From the Principal

Lucia Palmer

Dear Parent,

Thank you for your interest in Merryhill Elementary School in San Jose. I want to take this opportunity to share with you some key information about our school.

Since 1994, we have provided a high quality private school education for children in kindergarten through 5th grade. Our parents love our warm and enthusiastic teachers, our understanding of the needs of each child, and our rigorous, standards-based curriculum.

Rich content is the foundation of our curriculum. However, we know that our students need more than academic knowledge to achieve success. Field trips are one way we help our students make real life connections to lessons learned in the classroom. Places we have visited include the Monterey Bay Aquarium, Youth Science Institute and San Juan Bautista.

Learning and enrichment continues before and after school. Our extended day program runs from 3:30 to 6:00 pm. It includes activities such as art club, homework help, chess, and more. We know that life can be hectic. We are here to accommodate your busy schedule.

Please feel free to contact me to schedule a private tour. I look forward to meeting with you, learning about your child’s educational needs, and discussing how we can work together to meet them.

Sincerely,
Lucia Palmer
Principal
