In 2024, Plumfield celebrated 60 years of learning, growing and caring for students who learn differently.
We teach 3-6 students per class.
Customized Learning
With 3-6 students in each class, we have the ability to create an individualized curriculum based on both the California Common Core Standards and each student’s unique IEP. Personalized and person-centered instruction matters to us.
We also teach a custom, social-emotional learning program developed here at Plumfield called The 5 PILLARS. This program helps students develop social skills and a sense of personal mastery—life skills that he will need for school and beyond.
We believe that cultivating different interests is essential for human happiness, so we offer Music, Theater, Art, Technology, Land Stewardship, Athletics, Media Lab and Electives.
We currently teach 24 students living in all school districts across Sonoma County including Santa Rosa, Windsor, Sonoma, Petaluma, Cotati/Rohnert Park, West County, Kenwood, and Guerneville.
We focus on Individualized instruction.

Our staff includes an Executive Director, an Instructional Coordinator, Administrative Staff, Education Specialists, a Behavioral Support Specialist, Psychotherapists who offers individual, group and family counseling, a Licensed Social Worker who provides case management, parent education, and transition services, a Speech and Language Pathologist, and student support specialists and enrichment instructors.
The day-to-day experience of school is important to us.
Our students graduate having:
- A robust toolkit of skills, techniques and behaviors they can use to manage their emotions and live productively.
- Experiences of achievement and success.
- A feeling of having someone listen carefully and care about what happens to them.
- Practice working and collaborating with peers.
- Daily interactions and friendships.
- An academic experience aligned with the California Core Standards.
It's possible.
