Independent progressive school in Menlo Park, California.
Peninsula School, which opened in1925, is a progressive school created by an ambitious group of parents from the Stanford faculty and spouses, local high school leadership, and those interested in moving education of children away from the test heavy methods of the time. Together they became very educated in the works of the progressive movement. They were lead by Josephine Duveneck, and successfully launched the school, which has lasted with its focus on progressive education - child-centeded, experiential learning with strong emphasis on choice, critical thinking, connection to the great outdoors, and the creative arts for 90 years. Set in the beautiful and historic Colman Mansion, it remains a joyous place for children to play, learn and grow.
Peninsula School creates a space where children thrive and develop their full promise as confident contributors in the world. Here they learn about themselves and others, discovering their passions and growing intellectually in an inclusive community rich with choices, exploration, and play.
