Aurora School is a K-8 independent school in Oakland's Upper Rockridge neighborhood. Starting in 1988, we have focused on the importance of educating the hearts and minds of our students. We believe that academic excellence is most effectively achieved in an environment where students feel safe and supported. For that reason we implement social-emotional learning throughout our curriculum. For thirty-five years, we have seen the value of this approach in cultivating self-awareness, relationship skills, problem-solving, and responsible decision-making. Academic excellence, joy of learning, inclusivity, and a commitment to social justice are at the heart of our school culture.
