a warm welcome As the calendar turns to September, the air cools and the kids head back to school, it’s time to start thinking about your child’s future education. Is a private school a possibility? If so, now is when you’ll want to consider it for the next academic year. In our eighth annual Bay Area Private School Guide, we present resources and information to help you find the ideal fit. This year, our cover stories focus on innovations in education and improvements to student lunches. We also present a list and particulars on more than 160 private schools in San Francisco, Marin, Sonoma and Napa counties and the East Bay. This comprehensive guide provides the tools you need to evaluate your options for the 2018–2019 school year.

Education Innovations

NEW EDUCATION CONCEPTS ARE OFFERING STUDENTS EXPERIENCES THEY COULDN’T FIND IN A TRADITIONAL CLASSROOM SETTING.

BY CARRIE KIRBY

T

HIS SPRING, SOME Marin Academy students will have the chance to visit social media companies on a trip led by their entrepreneurship teacher, who is on the faculty of the Athenian School in Danville.

Others may meet online with students from Athenian or the Urban School of San Francisco for multivariable calculus study sessions, while still others may attend film festivals with their cinema teacher from LickWilmerding, then upload their own videos to share with classmates across the Bay Area.

All these courses and a few more are offered as part of the San Rafael High School’s participation in the Bay Area BlendEd Consortium, a prime example of how innovative schools are combining the benefits of technology and oneon-one instruction in a blended or hybrid education model.

Using videotaped lectures and teleconferencing allows Marin Academy to pool resources with four other independent schools to offer classes in niche interests that the

410-student school couldn’t cater to on its own, says Liz Gottlieb, a biology teacher who coordinates the program at the school. But it’s not all staring at a screen: in several in-person meetings per term, the kids have experiences a traditional course wouldn’t allow time for. In her Bay Area Field Ecology class, Gottlieb will take students camping at Point Reyes, and they will work with naturalists to gather data in the field.

“It’s both independent and extremely facilitated through the learning management system and these trips,” Gottlieb explains.

The efficiency of blended learning, which allows students to study at their own pace and spend less time in class, is one of its greatest benefits, educational consultant Jan Keating says. “The hybrid learning environment is an efficient use of time, which gives kids more time to be creative and use what they’re learning.”

Keating, who helped create Stanford Online High School and Santa Cruz’s Pacific Collegiate Charter School, is working with developer North Coast Land Holdings to propose a hybrid prep school on property formerly occupied by the Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary in Strawberry. This concept, put forward after the Branson School of Ross dropped its bid to expand there, would serve both local students and boarders and would combine videoconferencing and other technology with on-site resources such as a maker lab or film studio to create an elite school with a highly individualized curriculum, Keating says.

One reason hybrid education can be so personalized is that prerecorded lectures can be watched over and over by students who need the repetition, or skipped by students who already know the concept, she says. Then there’s the advantage that the lectures can be delivered by people other than high school teachers.

“You can get top people in their fields lecturing on specific topics. They only do it once, then you’ve got it,” Keating says.

Hybrid or blended education is just one type of educational innovation being seen in independent, private and parochial schools in Marin. Among the others:

8/8/17 10:50 AM

PROJECT-BASED LEARNING A major innovation in 21st-century education is PBL, which Marin’s own Buck Institute for Education defines as “a teaching method in which students gain knowledge and skills by working for an extended period of time to investigate and respond to an authentic, engaging and complex question, problem, or challenge.”

The efficiencies and flexibility of hybrid or blended education lend themselves to PBL, but this innovation is also being embraced by schools independent of technology use.

Just two of many examples: K-8 Jewish day school Brandeis Marin, in San Rafael, lists PBL as one of its core educational pillars, noting that it “fosters creativity, critical thinking, collaboration and problem solving.” Mark Day School, also in San Rafael, incorporates PBL into its first-grade curriculum when students create worm bins to process compost and then create books to educate others about vermicomposting.

“We don’t want to just focus on lecture format, where the teacher’s just giving all the information and the kids are memorizing it and taking a test,” says Raquel Rose, assistant superintendent at the Marin County Office of Education. “Project-based learning is more about focusing on the 21st-century skills of collaboration, communication, critical thinking and creativity.”

STUDENT LEADERSHIP While having a student council is nothing new, schools in today’s Marin give student leaders more opportunity to really work out serious issues they and their peers face.

“The old way of doing things was, as the teacher or the guidance counselor, you would identify for the kids what the problem was and coach them through trying to solve it,” Rose says. Now kids are being allowed to call out problems themselves and brainstorm solutions.

In February, students from both private and public Marin schools had the chance to compare notes at the first Marin County High School Leadership Summit, organized

by Rose’s office.

“When you take the leadership group from Marin Academy and join them with the leadership group from Redwood and San Domenico, here’s a group of leaders who can come together and say, ‘Here’s what we did at our school,’ or ‘How could we emulate that or make it work for our school?’ ” Rose says.

OUTDOOR EDUCATION Dovetailing with the trend of less seat time and more projects and independent or collaborative thinking is the increasing prominence of outdoor education in Marin

“We don’t want to just focus on lecture format, where the teacher’s just giving all the information and the kids are memorizing it and taking a test.” schools. Throw in Marin’s irresistible outdoor landscape, and it’s not surprising that so many independent schools tout the amount of time students spend in nature. Schools frequently credit their forays into the outdoors with building students’ self-reliance as well as fostering cooperation and community.

“The fall overnight trip focuses on hands-on outdoor learning and environmental education. The students learn to work together as a class and form strong connections with their teachers and peers,” reads the website of Fairfax’s small Cascade Canyon School.

Novato’s Good Shepherd Lutheran School works outdoor education into the academic curriculum from fourth grade on. Fourth graders spend two nights at Coloma Outdoor Discovery School, near a historic mining town, to flesh out their understanding of California history, and fifth graders spend four nights learning from outdoor science activities in the Santa Cruz Mountains. m

Lunch Is Served

STUDENT MEALS HAVE COME A LONG WAY SINCE THE DAYS OF MYSTERY MEAT.

BY CARRIE KIRBY

HEN A MARIN Catholic High School social studies teacher and her students aimed to get their school Fair Trade certified, they knew they had to talk to José.

Chef José Rodriguez, that is — one of two employees of Epicurean Group who work at the school running its popular Cafe Wildcat. In order to get the certification, the school would need to sell Fair Trade Certified products, which must be produced under safe labor conditions and purchased from producers at fair prices. This requirement would have been difficult to meet if the Kentfield school had a mass-market lunch vendor, says Lynn Maloney, the teacher who organized the push.

“One hundred percent it wouldn’t have been possible without Epicurean,” Maloney says. “Working with José and the owners of Epicurean made the certification hap-

“The lunches are so good that the staff once transferred them to Le Creuset dishes and served them buffet style to parents at an event.”

pen. Epicurean believes in organic, sustainable food, so Fair Trade worked with their mission as well.”

Now, Cafe Wildcat sells a number of Fair Trade products provided by Epicurean, some that had already been part of the company’s repertoire and some new ones brought in just for Marin Catholic. “They already used Fair Trade coffee and tea, but they found Guittard chocolate and Fair Trade honey,” Maloney says.

Marin Catholic was the first school in the county to become Fair Trade Certified, but it’s far from the only independent school here to turn to a local vendor for lunches that look and taste nothing like what was slopped on the cafeteria trays of past generations.

These vendors focus on freshness, local ingredients and often organic ones. Saint Hilary and Mill Valley’s Greenwood School get their organic lunches from renowned local grocer Good Earth Natural Foods. The lunches are so good, says Greenwood Director of Admissions Betsy Anderson, that the staff once transferred them to Le Creuset dishes and served them buffet style to parents at an event.

“The parents all thought it was catered gourmet,” says Anderson, who like other staff members at Greenwood enjoys “hot lunch” herself daily.

School Foodies, based in Alameda, delivers hormonefree meat and dairy and largely local produce to Mark Day School, Montessori de Terra Linda and Marin Christian Academy. Many meals can be upgraded to organic meat or chicken for an extra dollar, says owner and president Dennis King, who grew up helping his parents with their school lunch business in San Francisco.

School Foodies cooks in a central kitchen and delivers meals hot, which is a must for many independent schools, King says.

“Very few private schools have a full-blown kitchen,” he explains. “The older Catholic schools do, but they usually don’t have the population or staff to warrant staffing those kitchens anymore.”

With today’s lunch caterers, students or parents can typically choose from a number of entrees and order online, a far cry from the mystery meat of cafeterias past.

Furthermore, school caterers respond to student feedback — and not by telling them to love it or lump it. “The staff (at Epicurean) checks in and makes adjustments to the food that the students ask for. I think overall the students are very pleased,” Maloney says. m
