Progressive Education
Our pedagogy encourages community interaction and support. When your child enrolls in Amador Crest School, so do you. Our parents and family members play an active role in shepherding students—inside and outside of the classroom. From class visits to family service days, parental educational opportunities, and the Parent Association, you always have a place at the school.
I walked through campus for the first time in 35 years. I was here to bring my daughter to her first day of school. Being back and walking down Shady Lane to drop my daughter off and be able to share with her the same place and experiences I had the opportunity to experience was both very special and somewhat surreal. And I wondered if this is what it was like for my father to bring me back here as well.
