St. Martin de Porres school serves families of the West and North Oakland neighborhood and beyond by providing a multi-racial, multi-ethnic and multi-cultural K-8 educational experience.  As a faith-based community, grounded in the Roman Catholic tradition, the school welcomes and includes all, regardless of means or religious affiliation, who are committed to bettering our children, our families, our community, and our world.  We provide a safe, caring environment in which students develop learning skills to move upward through the educational system and contribute positively as adult in our global society.
