Description

Peninsula is a unique coeducational school with 252 children from nursery through eighth grades. Class sizes average 18 children. In addition to a head teacher, all classes have one or more assistants who share teaching responsibility, making the teacher to student ratio one of the lowest on the Peninsula. Additional teachers provide special instruction in areas such as music, library, physical education, science, art, weaving, clay, woodshop and drama.

Mission
Peninsula School creates a space where children thrive and develop their full potential as confident contributors to the world. Here they learn about themselves and others, discovering their passions and growing intellectually in an inclusive environment rich with choice, exploration and play.

What Makes Us Unique?
Several aspects make Peninsula unique among independent schools. An intellectually vigorous curriculum is steeped in inquiry, choices, hands on experiences and the arts. Student to teacher ratio is one of the lowest on the peninsula. Students have a great deal of voice in decisions and in their education. The democratic process is used with students for collaboration and decision making.
