This campus is one of Stratford’s largest preschool through 5th grade campuses and has high academic achievement across all of its programs. Upon learning of her move to the new campus in Pasadena, Judy said, “It is an honor to be part of Stratford School’s expansion in Southern California. Helping to bring Stratford’s exceptional STEAM education, where children are inspired to be creative problem-solvers, innovators, and leaders is the best reason I can think of to move south. I am looking forward to hiring a passionate faculty who foster curiosity and achievement in each student, creating a caring educational environment, and maintaining Stratford’s high academic standards at the new Pasadena/ Linda Vista campus.”
