Admissions
Welcome!
Founded in 1957 and connected to a 1,500-year Benedictine tradition, Woodside Priory School serves students from grades six through twelve (6-12) and houses Silicon Valley's only boarding school. Woodside Priory's mission is to assist all students in creating meaningful and balanced lives, developing as lifelong learners and stewards, and productively serving a world in need of their gifts.
Surrounded by the innovation and excitement of Silicon Valley, our students attend–and even reside on–a campus that fosters a sense of meaning and balance. Nothing captures this spirit of balance better than standing in Schilling Square, surrounded by rolling hills and trees, and realizing that some of the world's most transformative communities are minutes away.
The search for a school is one of the most meaningful activities we manage as parents, guardians, and young people alike. Understanding our version of academic rigor is important, but the spirit of a community and the environment in which we learn are invaluable. We hope that the collection of our online materials and future conversations will highlight how a Priory education can help you thrive. We look forward to helping you discover what a Priory experience can do for you.
