Silicon Valley’s Award-winning Stratford School Opens Campus in Altadena
Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) May 20, 2016 -- Recognized in April 2016 as a leader in Early Childhood STEM education by the White House, Stratford School, a Silicon Valley based, top-tier independent private school, announces the opening of their new Preschool through Sixth grade Altadena Allen campus at 2046 Allen Avenue, Altadena, CA 91001.
CEO, Shawn Weidmann, who worked closely with the Pasadena Unified School District to secure the location said, “Having just completed the groundbreaking ceremony at our Los Angles Melrose campus in April, we couldn’t be more excited to open a campus for the Altadena community. We are proud to arrive in SoCal with an outstanding reputation from Bay Area parents, and national academic associations across our 18 campuses, for providing an exceptional STEAM education, where children are inspired to be creative problem-solvers, innovators, and leaders. We look forward to continued growth and success in Southern California.”
Stratford founder, Sherry Adams, who established the school in 1999 adds, “Our expansion south meets the growing demands of parents seeking an academically advanced, socially enriched, dynamic education. Our vision, at Stratford, is to inspire and nurture the hearts and minds of our students -- one child, one teacher, and one family at a time. We are thrilled to be opening a new campus in Altadena!”
