School Overview

Gravenstein Community Day (GCD) is a specialized educational program located in Sebastopol, California, serving students within the Gravenstein Union School District. Unlike a traditional K-8 campus, Community Day schools are designed as alternative educational settings that provide intensive, individualized support for students who may benefit from a smaller, more structured environment. The program emphasizes a low student-to-teacher ratio, allowing for a personalized approach to both academics and social-emotional development.

The school is dedicated to fostering a supportive community where students can address specific behavioral or academic challenges in a nurturing setting. By integrating academic instruction with behavioral guidance, Gravenstein Community Day aims to help students develop the skills necessary for success, with the ultimate goal of supporting their transition back to a comprehensive school environment or helping them reach their personal educational milestones. The program is part of the district's broader commitment to providing inclusive educational pathways for all learners in the Sebastopol area.

* Charter Schools: A public charter school is a publicly funded school that operates independently under a legislative contract (or "charter") with a state, school district, or designated authorizing entity. Charters grant these schools greater operational flexibility over curriculum, staffing, and budgeting in exchange for strict accountability to achieve performance standards established in their charter agreement.

¹ National School Lunch Program (NSLP): The National School Lunch Program is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools. It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children each school day based on household income thresholds or community eligibility options (CEO).
