San Francisco Schoolhouse

San Francisco Schoolhouse is a non-profit, independent K-8 school located in the central area of the city, near Hayes Valley. Our intentionally small size, experienced and passionate teachers, experiential curriculum, and active parent participation provide a unique opportunity for families seeking a community-minded progressive education that challenges and supports their child.

At Schoolhouse, teachers strive to meet students at their learning edge, with strong academics in parallel with essential social emotional development. We believe a child cannot truly learn until they feel confident and safe; knowing it is ok to try and fail provides a platform for growth. Schoolhouse is about community: a collective of learners, educators and families sharing the same goals. We partner with students, as they strive to become compassionate, resilient, critical thinkers, brave in their interactions with the world around them. We also value students for who they are as individuals, while also honoring their role as community members. We recognize strong academics are essential, built on a balance of subject matter lessons and project work. We believe in helping students find answers for themselves, asking questions and encouraging them to look at concepts in creative and unique ways. 

We invite you to come and learn about our school, and to discover what makes us unique.
