Visit our Tuesday Assemblies

In addition to students and staff, parents and guardians are invited to attend, and once a month it’s followed by a parent/guardian coffee hour led by our Head of School. Attending an assembly is a great way to get a feel for our community. If you’d be interested in attending, contact Admissions Director Summer Lee (510-428-2606 ext. 204), or slee@auroraschool.org).
