Why

AT CANYON HEIGHTS ACADEMY, WE ASPIRE TO A HIGHER CALLING

We believe that a complete education must address the formation of both the student’s mind and character through a gradual, intentional learning process that seeks to encourage students to reach their highest potential in an environment that fosters self-advocacy and community-building. We live our motto of Semper Altius (Latin for “always higher”) in all aspects of our community.

Committed to Academic Excellence

With small class sizes and a substance-driven curriculum, Canyon Heights delivers a rigorous academic experience tailored to each child’s potential. Our dedicated teachers guide students’ academic, social, emotional, and spiritual growth with care and expertise every day. ‍ Students graduate from Canyon Heights with well-rounded intellect, leadership skills, and deep virtue — making them fully prepared to excel as leaders in Silicon Valley and beyond.

Proud to Be
Regnum Christi

As part of the international network of Regnum Christi schools, Canyon Heights champions the Integral Formation philosophy by combining academic excellence, whole-child development, and a deep foundation in the Catholic faith.
‍
In addition to being recognized as a Catholic school by and within the Diocese of San Jose, we are proud to be fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and the Western Catholic Educational Association (WCEA).

Experienced & Mission-driven Staff

Our growing group of 24+ Canyon Heights faculty and staff are the heart of Canyon Heights — and a large reason why we are consistently recognized as one of the best private schools in San Jose. From Montessori preschool to middle school, every teacher is dedicated to guiding students through their Catholic formation and academic growth.

Faith That
Lasts a
Lifetime

“Canyon Heights was the cornerstone for my life’s journey, as a young student and now as an adult. When I came to CHA during middle school, I felt like I was given just the right environment to blossom as a human being, in such a crucial time in my life. I still look back on my time at CHA and remember how the school, the staff, and the loving community really touched my life and my heart.”
