The Common Ground Speaker Series

Stanbridge Academy is proud to be associated with the Common Ground Speaker Series.

Each school year, the organization presents some of the nation's most compelling thought leaders in parenting, education and health at venues on the San Francisco Bay Area Peninsula. All Common Ground Speaker Series events are free of charge to parents, faculty and staff of our member schools. Guests not affiliated with member schools may attend for a $20 fee at the door.

More information on this season's speakers, details on previous Common Ground speakers, member schools, and information about the organization is available on the official Common Ground Speaker Series website or download a PDF here.
