Founded in 1966, we are proud to be one of the oldest independent, coeducational day schools in San Francisco. Entering the front gate of The San Francisco School, there is a sense of intellectual curiosity, imagination, and playfulness that is palpable. Students are engaged, asking questions, and sharing their ideas in the classroom.
Music cascades throughout the courtyard and art decorates every corner of the campus. Students of all ages are climbing trees, digging in the dirt, building with their hands, and playing hard. It does not take long to notice that they love being at school. The San Francisco School is a supportive and rigorous academic environment that is committed to developing the full and unique potential of every student.
