The Holden Promise

Non-traditional learners thrive at Holden High School!

Holden provides a tailored education for students struggling with learning, mental health, and executive functioning challenges. Students who have experienced previous academic failure, school refusal, and bullying reignite their love for learning at Holden High.

Our location is BART walkable, allowing for students to commute from all over the Bay Area. Most of our students live in Contra Costa and Alameda County.
