  • Hey, any parents here have experience with, or a student at International Community School in Oakland? Was impressed by the tour and their emphasis on community and social justice but the area is less ideal and would love to hear from parents who have kids there. Considering it for TK. Thanks for any thoughts!

    No experience with TK but my kiddo attended for K last year and we really liked it. We ultimately moved to a different school for 1st that was significantly closer to our house so we don’t currently attend, but I was  impressed with the academics (as much as you can know at the K level) enrichment activities, and their commitment to equity. Happy to answer any specific questions you may have.

If you’re interested in Spanish immersion, I would highly encourage you to consider ICS as well. It’s much easier to get into than MLA and probably Manzanita SEED too, and it’s a really great school. (Our son is in kinder there this year.) very well resourced, lots of extras, and really dedicated teachers. The location can be a pain in the butt but location doesn’t seem like a concern of yours based on the schools you’re looking at.
