Stratford School Altadena

Offering Early Preschool, Preschool, Mandarin Bilingual Preschool, Elementary, and Middle School, Stratford School Altadena provides an unparalleled education where children are inspired to be creative problem solvers, innovators, and confident, compassionate leaders.

Our balanced approach in and out of the classroom ensures both academic success and personal development.

In the classroom, our curriculum intentionally instills STEAM rigor and academic excellence taught in a warm and caring environment.

Arts, music, character development, and physical activity round out the Stratford experience.

In addition to our robust STEAM-infused curriculum, our campus offers a specialty Early Preschool program and a Mandarin Bilingual Preschool program.

Early Preschool is a joyful and developmentally age-appropriate program designed for children who are 2 - 3 years old, with no potty training required. Mandarin Bilingual Preschool students are taught and cared for by a two-teacher team, one speaking and instructing in English, the other in Mandarin.

Beyond the classroom, Stratford encourages students to explore their individual passions through enrichment activities.

Our goal is to prepare and mentor students for admission to competitive high schools and colleges, and our students achieve outstanding results.

Evident at all our schools is the Stratford motto, "Summa spes, summa res," meaning "highest hopes, highest things.".
