Orinda Academy is dedicated to partnering with students, their families, and teachers to develop an open and trusting academic community.
Hear what some of our families have to say:
-
For years I tried desperately to work with our school district to help my child reach the potential I knew was there. T.’s problem was not behavioral. T. was not disruptive. Instead, T. was ignored and neglected, and T.’s social skills withered away even before COVID started.
-
The school’s “small by design” approach, with an intimate environment that meets students where they are, has provided Jack with the support he needed to build himself back up after a rough stretch through middle school, and to challenge himself to stretch outside his comfort zone.

Our daughter went to a fabulous elementary school in OUSD that our other daughter sailed through a few years before A. did. We thought it would be good enough for A. as well. But, as we all know, just because one child does well at a place, it doesn’t mean the other will!
