Pear Tree Community School is a social justice-informed Montessori elementary school located in Montclair Village in Oakland. We emphasize problem solving through project-based learning. Students interact with hands-on materials to deepen critical thinking, literacy, and high level math skills.
Currently enrolling Transitional Kindergarten and Kindergarten classes for the 2022-2023 academic year.
You go talk to kindergartners or first-grade kids, you find a class full of science enthusiasts. They ask deep questions. They ask, "What is a dream, why do we have toes, why is the moon round, what is the birthday of the world, why is grass green?"
These are profound, important questions. They just bubble right out of them.
You go talk to 12th graders and there's none of that. They've become incurious. Something terrible has happened between kindergarten and 12th grade.
