We believe that the high school years are crucial for young people. So we have created an environment that makes those high school years successful - an environment of trust - where each student's voice is heard and respected and where each instructor takes a personal interest in the growth of each student.
A Cambrian Academy education prepares students to use the skills learned at school in all life's endeavors. Cambrian Academy is a life-changing experience, challenging and fun. It asks a great deal from every student - higher standards, greater expectations, and deeper engagement not only in the world of ideas, but also in the life of the community. Community service at Cambrian Academy is REAL. The Interact Club of Cambrian Academy is sponsored by the Rotary Club of Saratoga and Rotary International. Their service projects make a difference in our world. Students enjoy the benefits of a small supportive academic environment while having regular access to vast social interactions with 4,000 future leaders here in the Bay Area.
The "Cambrian Way" is a way of being: interacting with other minds, listening carefully, speaking respectfully, accepting new ideas and questioning old ones, using new knowledge, and enjoying the richness of human interaction. It is exemplified by the staff and embraced by the students. It's fun, it's exhilarating, it's the way to be.
