Mission Statement
Silver Oak High School is an American Montessori Society college preparatory program guiding a diverse community of learners for lives of achievement.
Description
Silver Oak High School (SOHS) is a free to attend, independent public school chartered under the authority of the Hayward Unified School District. The School is incorporated as a 501c3 non-profit corporation governed by an independent Board of Directors. The focus of all involved is to deliver a college preparatory education that provides the Hayward community with an authentic Montessori secondary program. Since its inception, Silver Oak High School has worked assiduously to implement a sustainable Montessori program according to the educational philosophy developed by Dr. Maria Montessori.
Most importantly, SOHS is a community of learners. All students, faculty, staff, administrators, and parents are working towards a common goal. To provide a peaceful, engaging, and challenging environment that accommodates each adolescent’s individual learning process. It provides a voluntary public educational choice for parents with students in grades 9-12 who choose to have their children educated in an alternative learning environment.
SOHS offers a quality education - qualified instructors, a comprehensive curriculum, a supportive educational community, and resource materials - to ensure that students make appropriate progress toward achievement of Silver Oak’s school-wide learner outcomes.
