Where Children Get More from Their Time Spent in School
Founded in 1980, the Adda Clevenger Junior Preparatory and Theater School for Children offers an accelerated academic curriculum plus a fully integrated performing arts program for San Francisco Bay Area school children grades K1 – 8. The school operates year-round, including intersession and summer programs.
Additionally, all students are members of the Adda Clevenger Youth Chorus, affording many upper school students the opportunity to tour nationally and internationally before graduation. Our curriculum stimulates, challenges and inspires students; our programs open as many doors as possible while providing students with the opportunity to develop their talents to the fullest. By eighth grade, students are well prepared to qualify for admission to college preparatory high schools.
