Children are the seeds and school is the soil;
We are the sunshine and the rain

AppleTree Educational™ was founded in 2007 by Lynda Brown, Diane Hsu, Alice Huang, Tien Nguyen and Richard Huang. Lynda Brown, Diane Hsu and Alice Huang have been operating schools in Sunnyvale, San Diego, and San Jose since 1996. Tien Nguyen and Richard Huang have held multiple corporate executive positions where they have defined company strategy and direction, research and development, processes, and corporate operation. While each one of our founders brings unique experience and skill sets to our organization, what we all share is a passion for education and the belief that AppleTree™ schools provide children with the best early education available. As working parents ourselves, we believe that an exceptional quality work-location school is not only ideal, but invaluable. We have teamed together to bring the AppleTree Educational™ model to businesses worldwide so that parents everywhere can have the security of knowing that their children are enjoying the highest standard of education in the most convenient location.

The quality of our program models is evident in our deliberately-planned classroom environments, aesthetically pleasing and comfortable surroundings, well-prepared and caring teachers, hands-on administration, involved parents, and standardized curriculum inspired by Montessori philosophy. Parents of our former students report back to us that their children are thriving and high-achieving in their public or private elementary school settings, proving the persistent success of our model.
