About Children's Day School

Children’s Day School (CDS) is a co-educational preschool to eighth-grade independent school serving over 465 students across two campuses located in the heart of San Francisco’s Mission District. At CDS, what you learn and who you become are equally important. Students engage meaningfully in their community, learning how to investigate with curiosity, solve problems creatively, and navigate conflict with compassion. CDS is a welcoming community in the big city, a farm and garden among urban streets, and a school that advocates for responsibility to others alongside individual achievement. Our graduates leave CDS confident, with the humility to listen and the resolve to speak up for what they see as right. To learn more about CDS, visit our website at cds-sf.org.
