 Dear
Families and Friends of St. Dunstan Catholic School:
Welcome
to our school website. Opened
in 1953, St. Dunstan Catholic School is a fully accredited K-8 Catholic
school. We are conveniently located in Millbrae, a mid-peninsula
city with a small town atmosphere, easily accessible from Highways
101 and 280, and 15 miles south of San Francisco. Our dedicated
faculty and staff educate students to be active Christians, lifelong
learners, responsible citizens, and problem solvers. We take a personal
interest in each and every child.
Catholic
education strives to educate the whole child: spiritually, emotionally,
socially, intellectually, artistically, and physically. Our curricula
and co-curricular activities are designed to instill in each student
a reverence for God and all his creation, and to affirm the rich
diversity of our students, families, teachers, and priests, while
building positive community involvement. We have a proven track
record educating children to become people “with and for others”
in the Christian spirit of service education. Indeed, our talented
graduates have an established record of academic success and extra
curricular involvement in the secondary schools of the Archdiocese
of San Francisco.
At
St. Dunstan Catholic School we create ideal conditions for learning
and leadership to flourish. Spanish is offered at all levels, as
is music and physical education. Subjects are departmentalized in
the middle school classes to prepare our grades 6 to 8 students
for high school. We have a hot lunch program in place. We have an
integrated outdoor education program. All classes participate in
extensive fieldtrips to educational and cultural destinations throughout
the Bay Area. Besides athletics, our after school program includes
chess, student government, junior student government, ecology club,
instrumental music, choir, outdoor education, altar service training
and service opportunities. For families with after-school care needs,
we offer extended day care program.
As
partners in education, we welcome and encourage parent participation
as there are numerous opportunities to be involved in the school
and parish community. To get a sense of our school community and
the many events that make up our learning environment, you can log
on to the monthly calendar and the principal’s weekly letter.
If
you would like to visit our school, please call the school office
and arrangements will be made to do so. Thank you for your interest
in St. Dunstan Catholic School, the destination school for quality
Catholic education in San Mateo County.
Future
developments on this website will include photos coverage of school
curricular and extra-curricular activities. Thank you for your patience
as we continue to construct and populate this website.
