Northern Light School has been rooted in Oakland, serving families who believe that every child deserves a Whole Child Education, one that nurtures both academic excellence and the qualities of compassion, creativity, confidence, and courage.

We are proud to reflect the diversity and richness of our community. Our families come from diverse backgrounds, and our affordability ensures that a transformative private school education is accessible to more students. Here, children are known, supported, and challenged. They learn to think critically, act thoughtfully, and embrace their responsibility as members of a global community. By graduation, they are prepared not only for the challenges of high school and college but also to lead with empathy, resilience, and vision.
