Since 1963, Redwood Day has been committed to shaping the lives of young people in Oakland and its surrounding communities. Our 4-acre campus is proudly part of a residential neighborhood in the heart of Oakland, close to Oakland’s Dimond, Fruitvale, and Glenview districts. We are immediate neighbors to homes, an EBMUD reservoir, and a city park and includes close to 400 students all learning together.

At Redwood Day, everything we do is designed to keep every child engaged and growing. Cognitively, that means an academically rigorous curriculum, world-class teachers, and a focus on the growth and development of the individual student. Our teachers are at the forefront of cutting-edge educational practices. They connect our curriculum to each child, helping students gain the skills they need to reach for the next academic challenge.

Socially and emotionally, we teach students to work through challenges, respect each other’s differences, and honor their diverse community. We provide students with tools to solve conflicts, take risks, make ethical decisions, embrace difficult conversations, and lead with courage and integrity. As a diverse community, we find great strength in pluralism and embrace every opportunity to weave diversity in thought and action into our social, emotional, and academic lives.

Diversity is an essential element of education at Redwood Day. Over half of our students identify as students of color, and about 35% identify as white. Our community embraces diversity in its many forms, including socio-economic, neurodivergence, gender identity and sexuality, zip codes, and family structure.
