Gunn is a great high school located in a nice part of Palo Alto. This school is one of the best in the country, and the fourth or so best in the state. That's pretty impressive if you ask me. The academics there are great and the teachers are wonderful. Most of the grads get into awesome colleges, some even into Ivy's! I think one of the school's weaknesses, if there are any at all, is the campus. It is not quite as good as that of Palo Alto High School. However, it is still a terrific school!

this yoga studio is fantastic and the reality is it's the most reasonably priced. it has a large variety of classes to choose from, and I almost always see at least one instructor in the class I'm taking (read: the instructors don't just stand there and tell you what to do, they practice what they preach). for students the price is only like $9 a class, pretty unheard of in this area, esp for a place with this high of quality

Jordan Middle School is a truly wonderful located in a great part of Palo Alto. Not only does this school have wonderful academics, the teachers are very helpful and willing to help the students. The students, in return, try very hard to succeed and because of this, this is a very good school. The campus is very nice and can compare to that of a private school. Additionally, this school has a pool that students use for Physical Education. This school is big compared to other middle schools. I definitely recommend this school if you live in the area!

Duveneck Elementary school has a reputation among local parents. The teachers are known for being top notch. There are many activities and techniques to keep the students of different ages engaged. Parents are highly encouraged to participate. Last I heard, a woman named Mrs. Maleen was the principal. She stresses how important involvement and comraderie are in a learning environment.

The Stanford Graduate School of Business Libary is something special. But its not open to the public so you dont hear many people talking about it. This place is serious: people come here to continue their pH D research, study for major exams, read up on whats happening with business around the world. There is actually a membership fee and only those who actua;;y go to Standord can get in. Many students have to come here because they can use really expensive books that they dont really want to buy themselves. The GSB library has a few special features: one of them for example is their collection of Corporate reports. I dont think any other library has such a big collection of corporate reports. (Corporate reports are a company's annual report of successes and losses.) One can go there and research almost any company under the sun, from all corners of the globe, and from the 1800's to now! Thats a lot of corporate reports! I actually worked here for a bit so I know the place from an insider look, and the staff is all really nice. They are willing to help with absolutly anything. Great place. If you ever get a chance, come see it. Oh yeah, and the university isnt half bad either:)

More
My son has some behavior issues and developmental delays and after years in private therapies and therapy through the school district, I made the decision that not having a comprehensive evaluation (instead of Occupational Therapy evaluation and Speech therapy evaluations in a vacuum). I have friends who have gone through this process and they recommended CHC without hesitation. I left a message and within a few hours, they called me back and walked me through what I needed to do to get my son the evaluations and later, services he needed.
They have an integrated Speech and OT group, a social skills group and other services. And they work on a sliding scale, which was important to me, because finances had previously held me back from getting the services my son needed.

The Palo Alto Gamescape has been around since forever. It's a great place to get your game fix. From strategy to board games to puzzles and all the rest. Unfortunately, it looks like the owner may be closing down this location at the end of the summer. The good news is that they're having a fire sale of their existing inventory. (They'll even order requests and sell those at a discount for some reason.)

The entire guidance staff at Palo Alto High treated our family with such kindness when our son transferred to the school. Everyone was wonderful -- especially Susan Schultz who is an angel.

My husband and I often go to Stanford on the weekends to walk around the campus, play chess, or play the piano in the music room. It is such a beatiful campus with alot of nooks and cranny to explore. Wonderful place to hang out and they often have fun events that are open to the public. This university is a great asset to the bay area. Also their bookstore is wonderful. Very well organized and fun to explore.

My daughter went there from 2yrs to 12 years and loved every activity they had. Now my son loves it. He is 7 years old now and has been there since 2yrs and without Peninsula he would be sad. We take a week vacation and he can't wait to get back to there to see all of his friends and all of the fun games and activities. Summer is especially fantastic. It is worth every dime.
