We are located on a quiet campus one block from the Rockridge BART
(Bay Area Rapid Transit)
station in
Oakland.
St.Albert's Priory offers
comfortable classrooms, private dorm rooms,
a serene courtyard,
and a beautiful church with splendid acoustics for our student and faculty
concerts.
Surrounded by beautiful gardens, we are secluded from the outside world
yet only blocks
away from our favorite coffee shops,
restaurants, and grocery store in Oakland's Rockridge neighborhood.
See what our 2012 participants have to say about our workshop:
