Vision

At George Hall School we use a Project-Based Learning approach to accelerate learning. We have high expectations for all students and we share the commitment of every student meeting or exceeding the California State Standards. Staff, students, and families work collaboratively to reach this goal, and our school and community resources are allocated to support this effort.

School Profile

Students come from Los Prados, San Mateo-Glendale Village, and the new development at the Franklin Templeton campus. There is a wide range in parents' education level and in families' socioeconomic status.
