St. Paul's is like our second home. The teachers, faculty and staff are tremendously dedicated. You can see the outpour of care and support that's given to the students. The SPES community is so special. The connections we have made with families here are genuine. There is no other place like St. Paul's. We have been part of St. Paul's since our daughters started kindergarten and have enjoyed each and every part of this journey.

I have two children (1st/3rd grade) currently enrolled at St Paul's. My kids started at less conventional entry points and our transition was incredibly smooth. The thought and care that went into making us feel comfortable was extraordinary. We have found the academics to be exceptional as well. The teachers meet the students where they are at and are able to challenge them or offer additional support. The social emotional curriculum is unmatched. It is weaved into every part of the students day. They are encouraged to take risks and feel empowered to do because they feel cared for and seen by their teachers. The thoughtfulness of all parts of this wonderful school is beyond anything we expected. The administrators are incredibly warm and caring as well. The warmth at St Paul's radiates from the top down. Another amazing aspect is the DEIB piece. Kids are encouraged to be themselves and diversity is truly celebrated. We are incredibly grateful to be a part of this wonderful school.

review for middle school. We joined in the 6th grade.- PositiveSPES has a higher number of African American students. It touts racial diversity. But there aren’t many Asian kids. Teachers and staff are racially diverse and there are male teachers which is also rare. Teachers are kind, caring, and we...

St. Paul’s Episcopal School (SPES) in Oakland has been an incredible experience for our family as LGBTQ+ parents with two kids attending.
