Stanbridge Academy is a caring, inclusive K-12 school for students with mild to moderate learning differences and social communication challenges.
We use an individualized, whole student approach so that students thrive and develop their academic, social, and emotional capabilities to their fullest potential.
Each year, Stanbridge offers a variety of summer courses for students in all divisions, including incoming students. Our Summer School program is scheduled in week-long courses in June through July, with each course generally occurring Monday through Friday of the specific week from 9:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Some courses may build upon each other in multiple weeks, in which case, students are encouraged to enroll in successive weeklong courses. The Stanbridge Summer Program is open to current and incoming students only.
Tuition includes special assemblies and speakers, overnight experiential trips and day field trips. All classroom supplies, textbooks and yearbooks are also included in this tuition amount. The school also provides counselors, a speech and language pathol

follows California curriculum standards.
Our student-teacher ratio is generally 8:1, allowing for

Experiential learning is integrated into the
program through overnight and day trips as well as on-campus
assemblies and activities.
We provide a comprehensive school
experience with electives, afterschool clubs,
and sports teams that compete with other
schools.
Transition programs include mainstreaming
to public/private schools; preparing our high school students for
college; training for the workforce (including student internships
at Bay Area businesses); and building independent life skills.
Tuition includes experiential trips, textbooks, and
supples. The school also provides counselors,
a speech and language pathologist and
a resource specialist to support students as part of the
school program.
We serve students from across the Bay Area. To assist families
with longer commutes, shuttle service is
available from locations in San Francisco and San Jose. The school
also operates shuttles from the San Mateo Caltrain station in the
morning and back to the station after school.
Most adults find traveling more complicated and challenging that it was pre-pandemic. We offer some suggestions for safe teen travel in these uncertain times.
