A great school provides its students with a solid foundation for learning, self-understanding and working with others. It requires strong academics in an environment that inspires creative problem-solving. Redwood Day School is this kind of school—one of the finest educational institutions you will ever come across.
At Redwood Day School, we focus on the academic, social and emotional development of our students—as learners and as people. Academically, our teachers begin with the California State Standards and enhance them to create rigorous curricula, which differentiate instruction according to student need. They appeal to a range of learning styles, foster depth of understanding, explore diverse perspectives and experiences and include individual and group projects. Our students enjoy learning.
From kindergarten on our students come to discover and understand their particular strengths and challenges as individual learners. This self-awareness creates a social environment of empathy, compassion, respect and curiosity, which are further deepened as we embrace the opportunities our diverse community offers.
Academic, social and emotional development are always interdependent and fluid. That's why our motto —Engaged. Prepared. Inspired.—so accurately captures the flavor and action of Redwood Day School. Stop by and see for yourself!
