From Our Head of School
I am absolutely thrilled to welcome you to Stratford School’s second high school in the Bay Area - Stratford Preparatory Milpitas, where we are embarking on an incredible journey together! Opening our doors in Fall 2025, we are more than just a school—we are a community committed to nurturing the hearts, minds, and spirits of our students.
At Stratford Prep, our mission is to connect students to their unique futures and ignite a passion for learning that extends beyond the classroom. We are committed to creating a learning environment that not only inspires academic excellence but also fosters personal growth and leadership. From science to the arts, from mathematics to literature, we are excited to provide an education as dynamic and diverse as the world around us. We offer many roads to success, including a variety of honors and Advanced Placement (AP) classes as well as courses that go beyond the AP level. Our individualized college counseling program is designed to guide each student on their unique path to college and beyond, ensuring that they are equipped to reach their highest potential.
But our focus isn’t just on academics. We believe in developing caring, collaborative, confident, and capable critical thinkers who are ready to make a difference in the world. Our students will have incredible opportunities to take on leadership roles and pursue passion projects that ignite their curiosity and creativity. Our goal is to empower each student to step into the world knowing they can achieve anything they set their minds to. Here at Stratford Preparatory, the sky is truly the limit!
As we prepare for our grand opening in Fall 2025, we are laser-focused on creating the learning environment and community that you have come to associate with Stratford School – one that is innovative, inclusive, and empowering. Joining me on this journey are Ms. Neena Bhave, our Middle School Director, Ms. Beth Redington, our Associate Head of School, and Ms. Heba Nosseir, our Director of Admissions. We are eager to partner with you and your family to ensure that every student thrives at Stratford Prep — academically, socially, and emotionally.
I invite you to join us on this exciting adventure and become one of our founding families. Together, we will build a school where every student is prepared for success, not just in the classroom but in life. Let’s make Stratford Preparatory a place where dreams take flight and futures are forged!
I look forward to meeting you and welcoming you into our growing family during the 2024-25 school year.
Warmest regards,
Deepali Deshmukh, Head of School
