My twins boys are attending to Duveneck since first grade. My experience with the school is been wonderful. They are very dedicated and caring. Always looking to help the kids to achieve their academic goals. The principal is fenomenal, she is always present to make sure everything is great.

Outstanding principle and teachers who help the community to weather pandemic with care and thoughtfulness. Effective/nimble covid response/process to keep kids learning and safe. One of the first in bay area to offer parents choice of hybrid/remote learning since Oct. 2020.
