Who we are

Welcome to St. Paul's!

Writers Workshop 6th Grade Science 1st Grade Readers Bird Census

St. Paul's is an independent TK-8 day school steps from Lake Merritt in Oakland. We welcome families and faculty of all faiths or none.

Our mission is to prepare students to be confident and skilled learners, to cultivate a strong sense of purpose, and to inspire them to be generous and active citizens of the world. 

St. Paul's graduates are Real World Ready.

Our program balances engaging, challenging academics with thoughtful support for our students' social-emotional growth. We focus on three principles:

  1. Critical thinking is the foundation of our academic approach;
  2. Community Engaged Learning provides service- and place-based education, connecting students to the city around us;
  3. Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging are in our DNA. We achieve better, deeper learning by harnessing the power of diversity.
