Thomas
Page School was built in 1969 and named after Dr. Thomas
Stokes Page. Dr. Page settled in Cotati in the 1840's
to serve the District Of Sonoma as sheriff. In 1847, the
land grant of approximately 200,000 acres was received
by Dr. Page and named Rancho Cotate. The name Cotate was
chosen by Dr. Page after the chief "Kotate", a Miwok Indian
whose tribe first greeted the Spanish settlers a decade
earlier. Thomas Page School is located just off Madrone
Avenue on 10-½ acres of the original land grant belonging
to Dr. Page. The school is comprised of three quads, nine
re-locatable classrooms, an office facility, a multi-use
room, library and computer lab.
Thomas Page School is located in the beautiful rolling hills of west Cotati, surrounded by farmlands, yet near to the conveniences of the Cotati downtown area. Student enrollment is approximately 240 for grades K-5.
Our location in the rural countryside outside of Cotati allows for a relaxed, calm environment for our students to learn and play. On the playground, the sound of laughter mixes with the sound of nearby roosters crowing. What a great place to be a kid!
The relatively small size of our school means that the students get to know one another. They interact not just with their classmates, but with children of other ages. This provides an opportunity for learning both in and out of the classroom.
Of course, we also have the advantages of having a modern library and computer lab. Our truly dedicated teachers, staff, and parents work together to make the educational experience a valuable one for all our children. We hope you will consider Thomas Page School for your child. One visit, and you'll see why we're here.
