Nativity School is a PreK‐8 coeducational school that serves approximately 300 students with a full‐time faculty and staff. Nativity's program is grounded in its mission and school philosophy: "to educate and prepare the whole child within a nurturing environment based on Catholic values and beliefs in order that the child may become a responsible and active member of the Church and society." Nativity School is located in Menlo Park, California. In 1956, the Sisters of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary founded the school near the beautiful, historic Church of the Nativity.
The primary mission of Saint John's Seminary is to prepare candidates for ordination as diocesan priests in the Roman Catholic Church and to recommend them to sending bishops. The Seminary enrolls candidates for the priesthood from Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life in its several degree programs of priestly formation.
The Seminary’s Master of Arts in Ministry and Master of Theological Studies Programs provide formation for laypersons, permanent deacons, and religious. The Seminary offers opportunities for ongoing formation of clergy as well.
