St. Paul's Episcopal School is an independent coeducational K-8 school in Oakland, across the bay from San Francisco, California. St. Paul's Episcopal School is a separate, independent entity that builds on the progressive tradition of St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Oakland since its founding in 1871. St. Paul's School was founded in 1975 by Rev. Canon David R. Forbes - who was the founding headmaster of San Francisco's Cathedral School for Boys - and Rev. Donald W. Seaton. The founders believed in the moral requirement to serve others and discovered that Service Learning is a powerful way to teach critical thinking, math, writing, history, and science. Families at the School are from all faith traditions, or none. The weekly Chapel is non-denominational and student-run. Chapel presentation topics include Rosh Hashanah, Chinese New Year, the Day of the Dead, and Ramadan. The School is accredited by California Association of Independent Schools (CAIS) and Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). Former Head of School Karan Merry is a past board chair of the National Association of Independent Schools. She currently serves on the board of Lick-Wimerding High School. As of the 2014-2015 academic year, the Head of School is Josh Stern. == Location == St. Paul's School is located in the Adams Point neighborhood on the northwest corner of Lake Merritt, the oldest wildlife sanctuary in North America. Lake Merritt is used as a laboratory and sanctuary. Third graders perform the longest running census of migratory waterfowl and report their findings to the Rotary Nature Center. Sixth graders study the eco-system of Lake Merritt and the surrounding watershed, including analyzing water quality, using physics to measure the speed of the current in other bodies of water, and removing debris - 20 tons of debris in the last dozen years. All students spend time at the Lake every week. On Tashlich, the School goes to the Lake to cast bread into the water to symbolize the letting go of errors of the past. The school's founders believed that a school must not live in isolation from its community. St. Paul's students walk to the Oakland Museum of California to view performances and exhibits, walk to the Oakland YMCA for swimming, and take BART to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Zeum, and Asian Art Museum. The campus is composed of three sites: the Lower School (grades K-5) campus on Montecito Avenue at Bay Place, the Middle School campus 1-1/2 blocks away on Grand Avenue, and administrative offices next door to the Middle School. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「St Paul's Episcopal School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
