Founded in 1991, The Quarry Lane School is an independent, secular, college-preparatory school serving students from 18 months through grade 12 across four campuses in the East Bay Tri-Valley. Quarry Lane has earned national recognition for its rigorous, accelerated curriculum—blending traditional and innovative teaching methods—and is consistently ranked among the top K-12 private schools in the nation.
At Quarry Lane, we passionately believe in the importance of a solid academic foundation—one that inspires a lifelong love of learning and enables each student to discover their individual strengths and passion. The overarching goal of The Quarry Lane School is to provide students with every opportunity to obtain acceptance to the college of their choice. Graduates of The Quarry Lane School have been accepted at some of the top universities in the country, including: Harvard, MIT, Yale, Columbia, Stanford, Princeton, U.C. Berkeley, Johns Hopkins, Cornell, Dartmouth and more.
The faculty and staff at Quarry Lane work passionately to cultivate a learning environment that inspires critical thinking, creativity and collaboration. An excellent student-to-staff ratio ensures that teachers and administrators have the opportunity to accurately assess and meet each student’s individual needs.
Our goal is to develop the child in a learning environment that promotes self-esteem, encourages a deeper level of learning, and allows students to thrive as confident, independent learners. In order to provide a meaningful education and inspire our students’ natural curiosity and love for learning, we take an interdisciplinary approach to our curriculum that focuses on experiential, real-world problem solving.
The Quarry Lane School is accredited by WASC, NCPSA, and NIPSA and serves communities within Alameda and Contra Costa counties in the greater San Francisco East Bay Area. Quarry Lane is proud to be the only private school in the East Bay to offer the prestigious International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme.
