Head-Royce School

The school was founded in 1887 by Anna Head as the Anna Head School for Girls in Berkeley, California. The school was relocated to the Oakland Hills, and a new campus was constructed by 1964.
Today, Head-Royce's commitment to diversity is a core value in the mission as the School helps students "develop an understanding of and respect for diversity that makes our society strong." Nearly one-half of the students and one-third of the employees are people of color. One quarter of the student body receives financial assistance, ensuring that Head-Royce is a socio-economically diverse community accessible to able, motivated students regardless of financial circumstances.
