PENINSULA SCHOOL
920 Peninsula Way, Menlo Park
650/325-1584, www.peninsulaschool.org
Every child is born with natural curiosity, and
empowering kids as learners helps that curiosity
blossom and thrive. That’s the driving principle
at Peninsula School. Cofounded in 1925
by parent and pioneering educator Josephine
Duveneck, the nonprofit provides a joyful learning
environment for preschoolers through
eighth-graders, in a wooded 6-acre setting
where kids can safely collaborate and play.
The grade-free curriculum promotes rigorous
questioning, independent decision-making
and experiential learning; low teacher-student
ratios allow time to explore subjects with intention
and depth. Daily “class meetings” teach
kids to resolve conflict, appreciate diversity,
and find their voice. Graduates go on to excel as
intellectually engaged high schoolers, ethical
citizens, and compassionate leaders.
