Common Ground SPEAKER SeRIES

The Common Ground Speaker Series is the Bay Area’s leading parent education consortium. Each year, it brings world-class speakers and thought leaders on parenting, education, and health—free to all YCIS parents, faculty, and staff.

Founded in 2002 with 8 schools, Common Ground now unites 40+ schools and 15,000 families from Hillsborough to San Jose. Events are hosted at member schools and online, offering cutting-edge insights and practical strategies to inspire and strengthen our communities.

YCIS is proud to be a member school—join us this season for the 2025–26 hybrid series of in-person and virtual events.
