Our Purpose

Each year Stratford has continued to support more students and families, to enhance its academic programs, and to explore new opportunities that will allow the Stratford community to continue to grow and thrive. Growth plans include bringing Stratford’s vision of academic excellence to more communities in the Bay Area, Los Angeles, and beyond. We are committed to offering a challenging curriculum where tradition meets 21st century learning that is focused on core subjects, creating a safe and nurturing school atmosphere and motivating students through high expectations in a collaborative and fun learning environment. Our steadfast commitment to this vision continues to guide us in our growth each year.

Our purpose statement speaks for all of us – “Stratford School – Connecting students to their unique futures.”

Our culture

Our motto "Summa Spes, Summa Res (Highest Hopes, Highest Things)" embraces our spirit of uplifting education. Most importantly we are a family of learners at Stratford School. Our culture is one of connection, care, and openness, where we encourage the free exchange of ideas among faculty, staff, students, and parent partners.
