The Dorris-Eaton School

Dorris-Eaton is an independent school serving students from preschool through eighth grade. For more than 70 years, we have earned a reputation for exceptional teaching and academic excellence. Our six-acre preschool campus in Alamo offers a warm, nurturing environment where young learners explore, discover, and develop confidence. A rich curriculum, complemented by classes in art, Spanish, and music, gives children a solid foundation for kindergarten and the years ahead. At our K–8 San Ramon campus, the curriculum emphasizes strong academic fundamentals while encouraging critical thinking and intellectual curiosity. Classes in art, Spanish, music, and physical education, along with a wide variety of electives for students in grades 6–8, broaden the educational experience. Small class sizes allow teachers to recognize individual strengths, provide meaningful feedback, and help students build effective study habits and communication skills. Both campuses offer before- and after-school care as well as summer workshops. In San Ramon, after-school offerings include soccer, piano, robotics, chess, and 3D printing and design. Character development is woven throughout the school day. Students learn and practice kindness, respect, responsibility, and a growth mindset, while community service, school-wide volunteer programs, and age-appropriate leadership opportunities foster a sense of social responsibility.

Retirement Solutions Right Time Financial offers solutions built to outlast your retirement People are living longer than ever. Your money needs to keep up. We offer focused, practical strategies that protect your savings and keep income flowing — for as long as you need it. Protection that works for you while you're still living Most people think life insurance only pays out when you die. Living benefits change that. With the right policy, you can access a portion of your death benefit while you're still alive — if you're diagnosed with a critical, chronic, or terminal illness. It's a financial safety net that protects your family and your retirement savings when life takes an unexpected turn. Know exactly what you have — and what you're missing Most people have insurance policies they haven't looked at in years. A policy review gives you a clear picture of your current coverage — life insurance, annuities, and retirement accounts — so you can identify gaps, eliminate overlap, and make sure every dollar is working as hard as it should. It's one of the simplest steps you can take to protect your financial future. Do You Have a Plan B?
