(Updated May 2021)

We would love to have you visit our campus and see our classrooms, students, and teachers in action, but Covid protocols continue to limit our ability to host campus visitors during the school day. Nonetheless, we are able to welcome interested families to visit and tour our facilities on a limited, controlled basis to ensure everyone's safety.

Upon the initial closure of our campus in mid-March 2020 due to Covid-19, Stanbridge Academy shifted to a remote-learning model. Without missing a beat, our teachers and administrators were able to quickly adapt to delivering instruction to all of our students through distance learning, utilizing online resources such as Google Classroom, Zoom video conferencing, SeeSaw, and other online tools. Likewise, our support staff, counselors, and speech & language pathologists were also able to provide services to students remotely, and continued to engage in social-emotional learning activities and online social lunch groups.

In September, Stanbridge Academy met the requirements of the County of San Mateo's Department of Health to reopen our campus in a limited capacity so that our elementary students could have the option of in-person instruction five days a week. Later in the fall, we were able to provide on-campus access and in-person instructional support to cohorts in our upper grade divisions. Since November, students in grades 6–12 have had the option of in-person, on-campus instruction two days per week, and we expanded our on-campus option for these cohorts to four days a week in April. We are happy to give visitors a firsthand look at our classrooms so you can see how we have safely and thoughtfully adapted our facilities for students and staff.

Despite the challenges presented by Covid restrictions throughout this past year, Stanbridge's staff and administration worked with all of our families to ensure transitions went smoothly—gathering feedback, adjusting as necessary, and adapting our program to meet each student's needs, particularly during times of extended distance learning. Equally important, we remained connected as a community, holding weekly parent check-ins online; hosting a virtual Prom, All-School Talent Show, and commencement ceremonies; and delivering five weeks of online virtual Summer School offerings last year. As reopenings gradually continue this spring, Stanbridge is offering a five-week in-person Summer School program this year, and hopes to have all of our students back on campus when the new academic year begins this fall.

Stanbridge continues to follow state and county guidelines with respect to campus access for our students, families, and staff. You can click the link below to read more about our Covid reopening plan, which was updated in early 2021 and provides more details on our campus safety protocols:
