Admissions
Welcome!
Dear Future Priory Families,
Choosing the right school is an important decision for your family, and we’re honored that you’re considering Woodside Priory School.
At Priory, something truly special happens. Nestled on a beautiful 50-acre campus in the hills of Portola Valley, our community is more than a school. It’s where curiosity leads, friendships flourish, and young people grow into confident, compassionate, grounded individuals.
Our Benedictine values of Spirituality, Hospitality, Integrity, Individuality, and Community aren’t just words on a page. They are lived daily in classrooms, dorms, art studios, on stage, on the playing fields, and around shared meals. Guided by these values, students are encouraged to take risks, ask big questions, and discover who they are and how they can make a difference in the world.
As the Director of Enrollment Management, I have the joy of witnessing the magic of this place every day, and I can’t wait to share it with you. Whether you’re interested in our vibrant day program or the transformative experience of our boarding community, we are here to walk alongside you every step of the way.
We’d love to welcome your family and share what makes the Priory experience unforgettable. Take a look around, schedule a visit, or simply reach out.
With excitement,
Kirk Gossman
Director of Enrollment Management
