La Entrada School

After attending Las Lomitas for kindergarten through 3^rd grade, I moved up to La Entrada for 4^th through 8^th grades with my classmates. All 9 years at these schools were a private-​school-​like-​public school experience. The teachers were (and continue to be!) unbelievable, the campus is gorgeous, the students enjoy fabulous resources, and the student and parent population is amazing.
At La Entrada, there are also some great, unique opportunities. I participated in Peer Helpers which was a group that counseled and peer-​mediated other students. We learned tons about counseling during lunch meetings with our school counselor. I also participated in our handbell choir, a great musical activity for people not-​so-​musically-​inclined! Wood shop and ceramics were great elective classes too!
The school was super sheltered from the «real world» which was comforting but did not fully prepare me for my big public high school, Menlo-​Atherton. At least I was prepared academically!
I am still in touch with some of my K-​8^th classmates which I think is pretty amazing since I graduated from college a few years ago… Sometimes I wish I could re-​live my La Entrada days!
