Castilleja School was founded in 1907 in Palo Alto to equalize educational opportunities for women. Classrooms haven’t been renovated since the 1960s, which is why we plan to build a modernized campus that meets the educational needs of the 21st century. After nearly a decade working with our neighbors, the Palo Alto community, and City officials, we are pleased to share that on Monday, June 6, 2022, the Palo Alto City Council approved our proposal 6-1. We are thrilled to have permission to update our campus for 21st century learning and environmental sustainability, open more opportunities for the next generation of women leaders, and improve our neighborhood, the city, and the greater community.
