South Bay Private School Chain To Open New East Bay Site

SARATOGA, CA — A South Bay private school company is slated to open a new middle school this fall in Pleasanton.

Saratoga-based Stratford School will open its third Tri-Valley campus at 3800 Stoneridge Drive. It features six renovated classrooms, fields, a multipurpose room, an outdoor basketball court and more, according to a news release from the company.

Stratford School has operated private schools across California for more than 20 years, including a slew of campuses across the South Bay.

The new Pleasanton campus will host an appointment-only open house event at 10 a.m. March 20. Tours can also be scheduled with the school, according to Stratford School.

The school aims to prepare youth for private high school or advanced placement public high school by emphasizing collaboration, critical thinking and creativity.

"Stratford's new Pleasanton middle school has been designed to provide our students with a campus tailored just for them — a high-quality learning environment with first-class facilities and expansive outdoor grounds," said Stratford School founder Sherry Adams in a news release. "We are excited to welcome students to this new campus, where they can thrive and be inspired to achieve great things!"
