Children deserve a school that will see them for who they are, develop their potential, encourage a life-long love of learning and accomplishment, and nurture a sense of respect for themselves and for others. The very best schools function as supportive communities that prepare children to be skillful, thoughtful and caring individuals, capable of meeting the future with knowledge, optimism, resilience, innovation and creativity. Windrush is such a school, and these values and goals are at the very heart of our mission and vision.

Founded in 1976, Windrush School is an outstanding progressive-principled K-8 independent school serving a growing community of 260+ students in the East Bay Area. At Windrush, academic, civic, and personal excellence are one and the same. We support students in developing the skills and confidence to become their best selves, thoughtful, caring, and high-achieving individuals capable of meeting the future with facility and grace. Our community is inclusively diverse; we draw families from Oakland, Berkeley, El Cerrito, Kensington, Richmond, and beyond. The Windrush faculty and staff are accomplished and dynamic, our compensation package is very competitive, and the view from our campus is breathtaking.
