Our kids have had amazing teachers here - K thru 5. 4th graders go on a trip to Point Bonita for a few days, where they are immersed in nature. Band is available. My 5th grader has gone on many wonderful field trips, SF MOMA, to hear Yo-Yo-Ma @ UCB, to Berkeley Marina's Kids for the Bay, & more.

School now has ramps. Read less
