Mission Northern Light School is committed to providing a high quality education for children from all socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds. The faculty and staff create an atmosphere where every child can grow academically, emotionally, physically, and spiritually, to become healthy, productive members of their families and communities. The focus is on academic excellence as well as non-violence, acceptance of differences, respect for the environment, and the moral advancement of humanity—so that the children develop an understanding that they have a responsibility to make a difference in the lives of others. Northern Light School is a leading independent Oakland, CA non-profit, preschool through 8 organization that provides excellent education to children from across the Bay Area. At Northern Light School, we are committed to being a Bay Area school that builds a school family and is dedicated to offering children an excellent education that will enhance not only their academic growth but also their emotional, physical, and spiritual development. As a faculty, we are here to teach and nurture the children in an environment of challenges, exploration, structure and LOVE. Northern Light School is designed to benefit all of us: children, faculty, families and the community.
