Hi, my name is Justin. Next year, I will go to West Valley College. I am looking forward to taking new courses and learning new things. This summer, I am going to go to China and Taiwan. Advice I would like to give to future seniors: Be calm!

Hi, my name is Mia. After I graduate I plan to go to Burlingame University for their adult education program. I'm looking forward to see what my life will be like after I graduate. I think a challenge I will have is that I won’t know the best way to adjust to my new school. This summer, I will be going to Lake Shasta with my family, and friends, and I’ll be going to other lake trips throughout the summer as well. My advice for future seniors: I would say that with everything challenge is by choice, but please try to push yourself to try to do new things on field trips because you will feel good at the end, and you know you have accomplished something. My other advice is to make the best of your experience in your senior year because the last year at Stanbridge feels like the quickest year at Stanbridge.

Hi, my name is Patrick. Next year, I will be attending Foothill College. I am looking forward to playing sports. This summer I will be staying at home. Advice I would like to give to future seniors: It is very stressful senior year.

Hi, my name is Chase. After I graduate I will be going to school at Riverview School in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. I am most looking forward to studying. One of the challenges I will have is doing a lot of work. This summer, I’m going to a private island with my dad. Looking back on my years at Stanbridge, I wish I had taken drama all four years. I would give future seniors the following advice: you should always try new things.

Hi, my name is Dylan. In the Fall, I will be attending the Wayfinders Program at Fresno State. I am looking forward to having more freedom. One of the challenges I may face is navigating a big campus. This summer, I am not sure what I am doing. Looking back at my time at Stanbridge, I wish I had been given more homework. Advice I would like to give to future seniors:  try new things.

Hi, my name is Grace. After graduation, I am planning to work at Jamba Juice and then perhaps attend Foothill College, if I am ready. I am also considering taking a gap year to visit my grandparents, work and earn money. One of the challenges I face is not being repetitive, and working to move on to more important things in life. This summer, I will be visiting my grandparents in Beijing, China, spending time with my sister, and hopefully getting a new phone. Looking back at my time at Stanbridge, I wish I had been nicer to others and more accepting. I would give future seniors the following advice: do good deeds and be yourself.

Hi, my name is Andre. Next year, I will be staying one more year at A139 at Burlingame High School. I'm looking forward to fun new classes and activities like ceramics art and P.E. One of the challenges I may face is working on a job! This summer I will be going to summer school. Looking back at my time at Stanbridge, I wish I had been more aware of how my actions impact others. Advice I would like to give to future seniors: Be nice!

Hi, my name is Brendan. I am going to go City College to take some reading classes. I will also continue working at Trader Joe’s. One of the challenges I will face is missing my teachers here at Stanbridge. This summer, I will be taking a cruise to Alaska and taking an airplane to Hawaii. I would give future seniors the following advice: study hard and get good grades.

Hi, my name is Brianna. In the Fall, I will be going to college and looking for a job. I'm looking forward to going to college. One of the challenges I may face is staying up late in classes. This summer I will be writing essays to make money for college. Looking back at my time at Stanbridge, I wish I had been better about trying to get all my work done, even on school nights. Advice I would like to give to future seniors: Think about what to write for essays.

Hi, my name is Adrian. Next year,  I will go to an adult program in Daly City. After that, I'm going to go to college. One of the challenges I will face is doing math homework. This summer, I am going to the water park.

Hi, my name is Alix. Next year,  I will be taking a Gap Year before heading off to Saint Mary's College of California. During this gap year, I plan to get a part-time job, and take some courses at College of San Mateo and Canada College. Challenges I expect to face include how busy that I could be, and that it could be overwhelming. This summer, I will take French lessons, attend Sewing Camp, volunteer at a horse ranch, and take a trip to Montreal. Advice I would like to give to future seniors: If you plan on taking a Gap Year before heading off to college, speak to each college to find out their Gap Year policies. Some colleges that I applied to consider you a transfer student if you plan to take community college courses, while others expect you to reapply during your Gap Year, or do Community Service during Gap Year.

Hi, my name is Allison. After graduation, I will be attending Foothill College in Los Altos Hills. It is a one-year program. I am excited because I live very close to the campus. One of the challenges I will face is I will need to work harder to stay on top of my schoolwork. This summer, I will be taking more art classes and traveling with family. Looking back on my years at Stanbridge, I wish I had participated in more activities in High School.

See Stanbridge this summer!

Summer School at Stanbridge is underway with a full week of academic, athletic, and artistic pursuits for students of all ages. This week is the first of our five-week summer session and we would love for you to see our students and teachers in action! Stanbridge Academy is hosting a limited number of small group tours during our Summer School session this June and July. If you are interested in learning more about our program or if you're looking to enroll your student at Stanbridge this fall, please click here to complete our simple online form to RSVP.

Summer tours at Stanbridge are designed to be small group or personalized visits, scheduled to take place during Wednesday and Thursday mornings while our summer school classes are in session. Tours will begin at 9:15 a.m. with a chance to meet and mingle with current Stanbridge parents, our Head of School, Principal, and Director of Counseling. The reception will be followed by a guided campus tour, giving you the chance to see some of our students and teachers in their summer school classes. You will then have an opportunity to talk further with our counselors and administrative team for follow up Q&A. This is a great opportunity to learn more about our program and discuss your child's individual needs and goals. At the conclusion of the tour, if you feel that Stanbridge is the right fit for your student, our admissions representative will discuss next steps.

Summer tours are free; we request that interested guests please RSVP in advance. If you are unable to attend one of our prescheduled summer tours, please note that you can always schedule a personalized tour of our campus on a date that works for you. For more information, go to the Visit Stanbridge page of our website.
