Thanks to Aurora School for sponsoring {510} Families. Aurora School is an independent, progressive K-8 school in Oakland.
Teachers at the Aurora School in Oakland’s Upper Rockridge neighborhood are committed to academic excellence and problem-solving skills, with a focus on social justice and project-based learning.
Learning at Aurora happens in multi-grade classrooms, where students in grades K/1, 2/3, 4/5, and middle school share learning spaces. Older students have the opportunity to mentor younger students, who become mentors themselves the next year. The Middle School curriculum features experiential, project-based learning.
Social-emotional learning is essential to the curriculum, with an emphasis on self-awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making.
An Aurora education is grounded in STEM and humanities, along with art, music, Spanish, library, and physical education. They offer flexible tuition to ensure economic diversity.
You’re invited: The best way to see what makes Aurora special is to come visit the historic campus, located just off Highways 13 and 24 in Oakland. Tours are scheduled on Fridays for Lower School (K-5) and Thursdays for Middle School (6-8). You can also schedule a tour at your convenience.Â
Coming soon: On Nov. 2, Aurora will open its doors to the community for their annual Tinker Faire, a hands-on day of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math. Click here for more information.
