Sterne School

From Strengths to Greatness

Sterne School is a co-ed independent day school serving 4-12th grade students from all over the Bay Area. Sterne offers a personalized learning experience, with small class sizes and wrap-around support. At Sterne, highly-trained teachers take the time to understand each student’s learning profile, and every student benefits from a wealth of strategies, tools, and accommodations. Ours is an environment that amplifies strengths and gives every student the space to unlock their potential and achieve their own version of success.

Sterne’s Lower School and High School are distinct but complementary programs, led by expertly trained teachers who are committed to getting to know every student’s learning style. Lower School focuses on foundational literacy and math skills, instructional-level-based cohorts, and robust learning support. It’s a natural progression to Sterne’s High School division, a rigorous yet adaptable A-G college preparatory program that fosters autonomy and critical thinking, while making room for extra support.
