Learning More
Parents interested in learning more about the school are invited to contact the Admissions Director. During the enrollment process, parents may visit classes and will meet with the Admissions Director to discuss their expectations for their child and to learn more about the school and its philosophy.
Parent involvement is essential to Peninsula School, as is the value and reward of child-directed learning. We believe in hands-on learning for parents as well as children. Peninsula requires a commitment to participation in the activities of the school. This may include volunteering in the classroom, assisting in fund raising, participation in annual clean-up days, and working at the Craft Fair, Spring Fair or Auction, events which are held annually. These activities provide an opportunity to support the school and to establish bonds with the rest of the Peninsula Community.
Peninsula's ideal of the dual emphasis on individual development and social consciousness, as well as the importance of valuing and enjoying one's life, has become even more relevant and urgent today.
Above all, Peninsula offers children the opportunity to be children: to play, to grow, to climb and swing and build, to create, all in a warm and supportive environment that encourages trust, cooperation, responsibility and participation.
Peninsula School does not discriminate in enrollment of students or hiring of staff on the basis of race, color, creed, national or ethnic origin, age, sex, political belief, sexual orientation or marital status.

Since the beginning the school has been helped in so many
hundreds
of ways by so many people that there is no counting
the gifts & Many
found themselves through their giving.
I think that is really why
it (Peninsula School) has survived--
because a purpose to which you
give of yourself
means something to you.
