Middle School 

Live Oak's Middle School (6-8th grade) provides a unique public education opportunity in the heart of Petaluma.  As 90 middle schoolers on a TK-8th grade campus of 280 students, these students exercise leadership and strengthen self-identity while thinking, challenging and growing in a supportive environment. 

We look forward to meeting you at our Middle School Tour on Wednesday, February 1, 4-5pm. Prospective students and parents are welcome!

Some features that set us apart:
  • Amazing interdisciplinary curriculum infused with art and music (not as separate elective classes).
  • Rigorous academics in core disciplines that require critical thinking and development of the academic voice.
