Our Story Castro Valley

A school built on grace.

Our Lady of Grace is a Catholic, language-enriched school in Castro Valley, serving children from Junior K through 8th grade. Small enough to know every child by name, ambitious enough to teach them in more than one language.

Why OLG

Known by name.
Built to belong.

At OLG, your child is not a number on a roster. They are known by name, by gift, by struggle, by story, and they grow inside a classroom small enough for it to matter.

The result is a community where kids are bold enough to ask the hard question, kind enough to lift the quieter classmate, and grounded enough to know who they are.

Mission

Built on a promise.

To form whole children in faith, mind, voice, and character, through a Catholic, dual-language education rooted in Unity, Truth, and Love.

Vision

Prepared for what's next.

To be the flagship of what Catholic education in the Diocese of Oakland can look like: faith-rooted, dual-language, academically serious, and central to its community.

Values

The way we show up.

Unity in faith. Truth in learning. Love in every interaction, between teachers, students, families, and our parish.

"A diverse, faith-based community providing a comprehensive curriculum that ignites curiosity and inspires learning."
