Redwood Continuation High

School Overview
Redwood Continuation High School, located in Castro Valley, California, serves as an alternative educational setting designed to support students who may benefit from a more flexible, personalized approach to learning than what is offered in a traditional comprehensive high school environment. As a continuation school, its primary mission is to help students get back on track toward graduation by offering smaller class sizes, individualized instruction, and a supportive atmosphere. The school focuses on credit recovery and social-emotional growth, aiming to provide a pathway for students to successfully earn their diplomas despite previous academic challenges or personal obstacles.

The school is part of the Castro Valley Unified School District and is committed to fostering a close-knit community where students can receive more direct attention from teachers and staff.
