- Holden is a private, non-profit school that has addressed the needs of teenagers since 1969. Our students come from all over the Bay Area and reflect its diversity. Students who wither in public school often thrive here. With a student-teacher ratio of 10:1 or less, no one gets lost.
We use trust, respect, and humor as foundations for learning and growth. We focus on personal growth as much as we focus on academics. Holden is an open, affirming community.
Holden provides a place where students may discover or rediscover their love of learning.
Holden is accredited by the National Association for Legal Support of Alternative Schools (NALSAS). Many of our students attend colleges across the country.
Enrollment is open throughout the school year.
We offer generous financial aid and scholarships.
