San Francisco Schoolhouse

Features and Highlights

• Multi-Age Classroom: At Schoolhouse, children learn together in multi-age groups (K+1, 2+3, 4+5, Middle School). Each group is team-taught by 2-3 teachers in 2-3 classrooms, depending on enrollment. Our student-teacher ratio is 12:1.
• Adventure Days: Adventure Days are an integral part of the Schoolhouse experience in which the city and the Bay Area serve as an extension of the classroom. Classroom teachers select Adventure Days to enhance their curriculum or provide a unique experience.
• Grades K-5. Learning by Doing. At San Francisco Schoolhouse, we believe every child deserves to be a known and valued member of their community. Our K-5 program inspires students to be compassionate, creative, and think critically, while mastering essential skills across all disciplines.
• Middle School: In our Middle School, childhood and adolescence are honored and celebrated. Each student is supported for who they are. Schoolhouse’s innovative curriculum builds core academic skills, social-emotional competencies, and civic engagement in both single- and multi-age groups.

About San Francisco Schoolhouse

Schoolhouse has grown in numbers but has stayed true to its foundational principles of igniting curiosity, finding joy in learning, and building a strong community. 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.
