You notice the difference right from the start. At other schools we were considering, the headmaster talked to us rather than to the student. When we came to Orinda Academy, they talked directly to our son. Both our son and daughter attended Orinda Academy. Their self-confidence at the academic level has grown tremendously and they are excited about going on to college instead of being nervous. The feel well prepared. Yes, the school is small, but neither one of our kids would have traded Orinda Academy for what they have received academically and personally.
