The Old Adobe Union School District is located in Petaluma, California.  Old Adobe serves 1800 students in grades K-6th.  Our five schools are located in East Petaluma and represent our diverse student population.  Petaluma is a close-knit community where young people are a priority and these values are true in our school district as well. 

The Old Adobe District seeks to maintain high academic standards while teaching the whole child.  Our goal is to prepare young people to be caring and well informed so that they can take leadership roles wherever their journey takes them.

Old Adobe Schools Prepares Students for Junior High School:

"Regarding the Old Adobe writing preparation, we're seeing our students with a more consistent understanding of the structure of an essay - 5 paragraph. Also, there's an understanding of the role that a thesis plays in an essay. The Old Adobe district writing program provides a clear foundation that complements our own writing program and allows us to build on it with deeper critical and analytical thought. The visual arts program also trains the students to analyze a text, seeking both meaning and evidence - all important to the kinds of essays they write in junior high and high school."  

-Casey Stuelpe, 7th grade English teacher
