Established in 1971, The Intercommunal Youth Institute in Oakland, California was the Party’s first full-time elementary and middle school, and primarily served the daughters and sons of Party members during its first two years. By 1973, the Youth Institute changed locations to a larger venue, became known as the Oakland Community School, and provided classes to children from the broader Oakland community. At the Community School, students took traditional courses as well as lessons in meditation, drama, and martial arts.
