One day a child at Trū asked the question,
“How do people learn?”

We think about that question every day. We invite you to ask it yourself.

Parents choosing a K-5 private school in the Bay Area face a difficult task. How do you know what is best for your child? Our answer: Children thrive in a flexible and project-based environment full of challenge. They feel most comfortable when teachers know them well and provide support in finding their own voices.

Trū offers an academic program that differentiates among students with activities suited to your child’s development. We cultivate authentic, caring relationships to nurture empathy and strong communication skills. We provide hands-on projects to develop skills in critical thinking and problem solving. We teach children to accept each other as unique individuals.

We understand that giving children resilience to meet the demands of life means first creating a community in which they feel comfortable taking risks. We do this through a curriculum informed by national standards and decades of educational research and development. Our extensive field trip program provides real-world experiences for children through partnerships with local organizations.
