San Francisco High School of the Arts

Unique to the Bay Area, San Francisco High School of the Arts (HSArts) is the only private arts school for students in grades 5 – 12. Just steps from Golden Gate Park, HSArts offers your child a path to self-mastery through professional arts training and rigorous academics. Our highly credentialed faculty gives each student the individualized support and attention they deserve. HSArts students go on to attend top universities, pursuing the arts and other fields. 

Starting in Fall 2026, we are excited to expand with the addition of a TK–5th grade elementary school in the Richmond District of San Francisco—San Francisco Arts and Science Academy. If you are interested, please also visit asasf.org.

At HSArts, we teach traditional and universal values that transcend all cultures. Our holistic education in traditional arts, academics and values develops individuals ready to make vital contributions to the world.

This is a place where scholars and artists alike thrive. In the past year, our students have achieved remarkable success—winning at the Asian Open Figure Skating Competition, earning 1st place in national dance competitions such as Thunderstruck and KAR, and excelling at the 2025 Miclot International Music Competition, among others.  

We warmly invite you to visit our campus and discover the unique opportunities HSArts offers for students to excel both academically and artistically.
