Stanford University is located in Stanford, California, in the San Francisco Bay area. This school consistently ranks among the top ten education schools in the United States in "US News & World Report." The master's programs are very small, for the purpose of giving students an intimate setting for academic inquiry. Many programs enroll less than 20 students. Stanford's School of Education differs from many others. Rather than scattering students in outside classrooms for teaching internships, it provides students with the opportunity to train in the Professional Development Schools under the supervision of experienced mentor teachers.
