Edna Brewer is an inclusive school community where social and emotional learning are prioritized. Proudly, Edna Brewer is one of the most diverse schools in Oakland, with students from every corner of the city representing many different cultural backgrounds.
Our rigorous academic program features a heavy focus on standards-based curriculum and work across all core disciplines, and is implemented by an exceptionally innovative, collaborative and dedicated teaching staff.
We prioritize physical health with a dynamic PE program. 90-minute block periods are broken up by recess and lunch, so that students have opportunities for movement and socializing. Edna Brewer offers robust Music, Art, Drama, and Sports programs that we continue to expand from year to year with the support of the PTSA.
A weekly Advisory class allows for homework check-ins and further community building. Students also engage in an Enrichment class, which intentionally address two identified areas of need: Social Emotional Learning and academic intervention/acceleration. Enrichment class creates a space where teachers and students can learn together to create a school community that feels safe, healthy, and collaborative.
Restorative Justice is at the heart of our successful social- emotional learning program. Designed to put the student’s voice at the center, it emphasizes community, discipline, accountability, and empathy.
We are proud of our thriving school community. We care about children and learning, and we strive to offer a balanced educational experience in a positive and inclusive environment.
