At Sequoia, we understand how difficult it can be to choose the right school for your child. We are a small neighborhood school between the "hills" and the "flats," reflecting the diversity and energy of both.

The benefits of a Sequoia education:

• positive exposure to the rich dynamics of Oakland's diversity
• excellent teachers and academic opportunity
• the benefits of committed parent involvment groups
  
• A respectful, challenging and supportive environment
• An outstanding, caring, stable and 100% credentialed staff
• An innovative and effective literacy program

Some of the many enrichment programs:

• A Garden Program
• A Visual Arts Program
• An Instrumental Music Program
• Kindergarten and Upper Grade Choirs
• Before- and after-school Child Care options
• Innovative after-school programs
• Conflict Resolution Program and Social Skills instruction
• Opportunities for student leadership and dramatic expression
• Exciting field trips aligned with classroom curriculum that take advantage of the Bay Area's rich culture
• A week-long science camp for fifth graders
