St. Bedes has been a great school for both of my sons who are currently students here. The teachers and staff have been very supportive of my son's learning disabilities and have worked closely with me to ensure his success. I couldn't be happier read more

When I first moved to Hayward, this was the church that I felt most comfortable going to. And I knew that one day my kids would attend the school. I am grateful that I am able to send them there for a private/Catholic school education. All the teachers, staff, parents and classmates are very friendly and kind. read more

The kids really like this school and the activities the teachers really care for the students, highly recommended

We enrolled our daughter to St. Bede Catholic School during the middle of the pandemic and we could not be happier with the learning, care and compassion she receives at this school. The teachers and staff are professional, communicative and caring. The space of the school is open, bright, clean and welcoming. The school's handling of the pandemic with attention to cleanliness and sanitizing has exceeded our expectations. St. Bede Catholic School takes the time to nurture all the children's curiosity and interests in a super fun and engaging way and I very happy with their contribution to our daughter's growth! read more

Grouping up attending a Catholic School, I know I wanted the same for my two kids and over the last three school years my experience with St. Bede Catholic School has been amazing. Between the education they receive and the Catholic upbringing they are taught, my son and daughter have excelled and I couldn't be happier. Each of one the teachers and the rest of the faculty are kindest individuals who treat the kids as one of their own. I am 100% confident that St. Bede Catholic School is building a great foundation in the kids to becoming successful adults. read more

My family has been involved with this school for six decades. St Bede School prepares the students for real life. The teachers are nurturing, allowing the students to thrive academically and socially. Students are challenged to think for themselves and learn through curriculum that prepares them for an advanced education. The faculty, staff and students are welcoming, allowing students to grow through faith, knowledge and self image. I strongly encourage you to check out St Bede Catholic School if you want your children to have the best possible education. read more

For a Catholic school, this school goes opposite from what God had taught us. Favoritism, bully (not by other students but from teachers), lies (from teachers to cover up for each other or their favorite)! We all paid he same amount tuitions, but yet some kids got treated with better privileges than others. We sent our kids there and even referred others people in a believe that this school will bring good education to our kids. Ended up the teachers are siding with each other and labeled a kid as "trouble student" without giving the students a fair chance to prove themselves. Especially they listened to a teacher that told her students that she's only there for money... not passion! We understand it's not easy to be a teacher (trust me we have enough people in our family that are in child development and education major so we understand the hardship). That's why we always have the utmost respect to teachers, but the behaviors of these teachers made us sick! Our children are now not only afraid of speaking up for themselves (because the teachers always put the blame and accused the students that spoke up or told on bad behaviors), but our children's mental health took a toll as well. Our children now have panic/anxiety attack every morning before school and we have to seek for professional help. Our kids need to see professional therapist to help treat this problem because of all the bully and mental abuse our kids got from this school. We paid for private education so our kids would receive better education, but ended up the education our kids received is no different than public school. I really recommend for you to look around and check feedback from parents that actually have kids attending to this school with no family history of potential favoritism for candid feedbacks. Yelp reviews are deceiving as it did fooled us. Ever since the old principle left, the school hasn't been the same and it's nearly impossible to meet with the new principal. We believe God is fair and he will see everyone's wrong doing. In fairness, this school 1st grade teacher and one of the office staff are phenomenally. They were the reason we thought we made the right decision to put our kids here. If all the teachers here have the heart to serve like them... then this school would be where we want to send the rest of our kids and refer more of our friends and relatives' kids to go here as well. Now we have to rethink about that! It's really unfortunate that we have to worry about our kids being bully by other kids... now from the teachers too?!?! read more

My son has been attending St Bede's Catholic school since he was in 4th grade. He gained so much knowledge, faith and friends at this school. In my years of experience with this school and staff, I have been so happy. I felt safe leaving my child in the care of the staff of St Bede. They have been equally attentive to their students. They maintained the cleanliness and safety of the children in their community. The flow and organization of traffic was well organized. The classrooms were well lit and well maintained. All in all I have been blessed that during the course of my child's stay at St Bede's I have been satisfied and happy. Thank You read more

Best elementary school in Hayward. Teachers are knowledgeable and caring. Activities for the kids are fun and engaging. Parents are proactive and involved. read more

My daughter transferred to St. Bede as a 2nd grader. The welcome the school body and staff gave us was so warm it made our family, especially my daughter, instantly feel so at home in the school and church communities. The teachers and staff held my daughter's hand as she transitioned to a new school with a nurturing environment. read more

I myself went to St. Bede Catholic School from K-8th grade and I am now sending my child to school there. The staff there are really welcoming, respectful, and caring. They take the time to know each of the kid's names and are very attentive to them. Their communication with the parents are great! They send weekly newsletters of any upcoming events and volunteer opportunities which is a great way to get involved with the students and classroom. read more

Great school! This school works very hard to achieve the best it can, with support from parents and teachers.

Teachers are always available and are always there for the children. This school prepares your child for higher education. I truly love this school and how it feels like a big family. read more

My Nephew attended this school from 4th grade and graduating middle school this year already. I had the pleasure to attend some of the festivities from this school, like their school festival, and I have seen how organized the staff are and saw how they devote their time and effort to make such event successful. I saw how they developed their students and the discipline they instill in each their student on and off school campus. I highly recommend this school because I saw how the faculty value the relationships not only with their studens but with the parents as well. read more

My daughter first started attending St. Bede Catholic school two years and can honestly say it has been one of the best decisions we've made as parents. Each and every one of the faculty members care dearly about the student's education and religious upbringing. The last two years of schooling under some tough circumstances, I've appreciated their dedication to safety, but also the school ability to quickly adapt between in-person and online learning. Technology has played a big role in and it is seen the students ability to manage their own school work on their devices. Glad to be part of the St. Bede Family. read more

St. Bedes is a great school. They teach your kids to be respectful and kind to others. The teachers and staff are good in communicating with parents if there are updates with the school or concerns with his/her child. Best of all, they teach your child about the story of God. read more

This is an excellent school! The children who've been educated here are well rounded and able to conduct themselves with confidence! A sound recommendation! read more

From day one since my family moved from Illinois back to California we were looking for a close family environment from a school and St. Bede Catholic School was just that for us. We've been attending for the past 10 years now as my youngest will be graduating this school year. We will surely miss the staff and all the teachers we have met along the way. Our family gained great knowledge as well as life long friends...GO Hornets!!! read more

St Bede Catholic School is such a great and amazing school. My older son has been here since kindergarten and is about to graduate 8th grade this year. My younger son is currently In 2nd grade. The teachers and staff are amazing, and the education is phenomenal. When the pandemic hit as a mom I was truly worried, but St Bede continued the education online so smoothly it was amazing, and I am truly grateful for the education they are receiving. I would highly recommend this school. read more

I have sent my kids to st bedes all of them and love the family environment the office staff and teachers are great with great communication glad we chose this school read more

My child goes to St. Bede. The school is tight knit and make everyone makes you feel like family. They were enrolled in a subpar private school before St. Bede. That school was more of profit oriented school and they did not care about the kids in my opinion. St. Bede is the total opposite, we should have just started them in the beginning. I am glad that we chose that school for our kids. read more

As a parent, St. Bede provides a strong Catholic foundation and curriculum for my child. Additionally, the dedicated teachers and staff give my child that sense he has a "second home". Their continuous efforts to integrate technology especially with their one-to-one laptop program is a plus! I would encourage any parent looking for a well-rounded Catholic school with a strong curriculum, Catholic identity, and affordability to visit the school and see for themselves all they have to offer! read more

Sending my child here is one of the best and most important parenting decisions my husband and I have made. We are happy with the faculty and amazed by the boundless creativity, energy and innovation of the school principal. The school's motto is "Quality Catholic Education. School that's like family." They've lived up to that motto in every interaction we've had. We transferred from another Catholic school one month into the school year last fall and we immediately felt welcome by the school secretary, principal, staff and faculty. Parents are not only allowed, they are encouraged to visit the school and ask questions. The teachers are engaged and present and most stay well after school and attend the many evening events after having already put in a full day. We've met many incredible parents who actively participate. We consider St Bede our partners in our child's religious, social and academic development and we feel blessed to be part of this wonderful community. read more

As a faculty member of St. Bede Catholic School, I am proud to write a review for our school. To begin with, our students are one-of-a-kind: bright, kind, thoughtful, creative and compassionate. Additionally, they continually challenge the world around them with their unique perspectives and are able to effectively communicate those ideas in a way that not many elementary and middle school students are able. With our small class sizes, students are able to have an unique learning experience where one-on-one teacher instruction is possible - questions and mistakes are encouraged. Our staff is beyond dedicated and are entirely committed to the students and to making our school better in every way. This year, we implemented a one-to-one laptop program (5th-8th grade) which has encouraged students to take ownership in their learning, advocate for themselves (with nightly emails to teachers) and has allowed the staff to challenge them in a way we were unable to prior. Next year, we hope to have iPads in the 3rd and 4th grade classrooms as well. Truly a unique learning experience for our young people! If you hope for a kind, thoughtful, clever and inquisitive child - St. Bede is for you! read more
