Al Zappelli, Director of Admission & Financial Aid, shares the approaches and experiences that bring balance and perspective into the lives of Woodside Priory School students and alumni.
Woodside features an intimate, strong sense of community, where students practice and learn the values of a well-rounded life. More than challenging academics, Woodside students mix and pursue fine arts, performing arts, athletics and spirituality beyond the classroom.
The priory’s Benedictine monks provide the living example of working together in community of common values. Adults and students learn from each other. Woodside recognizes that spirituality is an important part of each student’s life. In practice, Woodside students discover, question, explore and begin finding the beliefs, from a variety of backgrounds, that will anchor their lives into adulthood.
Woodside Priory’s location provides access and opportunities ranging from the fast moving technological changes of Silicon Valley, amazing cultural diversity, and recreation options from the beach to skiing.
Woodside Priory is coeducational Catholic boarding and day school grades 6-12, boarding grades 9-12 located in Portola Valley, California. Learn more: www.prioryca.org
