Holden High School is an incredible place for students to receive a comprehensive education with a dedicated, caring faculty. Students are provided an incredibly supportive environment where each individual is heard, acknowledged, encouraged and inspired. I’m a former student and truly believe in what Holden gives to the community. I once heard a Holden Director say, “our students are never made to earn respect, they are given it freely.” So true and for so many teenagers, Holden is exactly what they need. Go Holden!

If your high school student is struggling in a traditional high school setting, I would strongly recommend Holden High School. Classes are small, therefore giving your son or daughter the individual attention he or she needs. The students at Holden are there for various reasons. This can be from the unwillingness to cope, bullying and struggles with learning. Barely finishing middle school, even with the help of therapy and other resources my daughter refused to attend high school. Depression was an issue. We had no support from the school district. Thank goodness for Holden. My daughter attended Holden all four years. She has her life back. They prepared and gave her the tools to thrive and the willingness to learn. Because of this she was offered scholarships and is now attending a four year college and pursuing a bachelors degree in Computer Science. Wonderful staff that cares about the success of each student. Everyone is treated equally and with respect. Holden is now a part of her family.
Holden High School was a godsend for our son and our family. The dedicated, experienced, excellent faculty used great respect and nurture with our son. He came in hating school, turned off, no longer curious and graduated with honors, one semester early, with a college scholarship. He remains in touch with and close to his high school teachers. Holden is a unique, alternative option for high school age kids. Our family highly recommends this school. A gem.
Not every kid fits into the mainstream educational system of Lamorinda. Whether they misfit socially or academically, Holden has created a place where they will fit in. Our son has attended Holden for just over a year; the transformation in him has been unbelievable. The supportive and caring staff at the school has been the source of this transformation. Before attending Holden, our son was so overcome with anxiety he could not attend the local public high school; he now is excelling in all subjects, has 100% attendance, and is on track to graduate in a few months. What a difference a proper placement makes! Thank you Holden, you have saved all of our lives.
Avoid this school and look elsewhere by all means. They totally ripped me and my son off from his education. Payment arrangements were set up and fully paid upon and now 2 years later they are sending me a large bill they are threatening me to pay or else they will take legal action towards me. They make so many promises that they fail to follow up on. My son who has been in privates schools since day 1 said he didn't enjoy the school at all. Only positives with this school is the location.
