San Francisco Day School (SFDS) is a kindergarten through eighth grade
coeducation school. The SFDS mission is to educate, nurture and inspire
girls and boys of diverse backgrounds to achieve their highest academic
and creative potential, to embrace ethical values and to become active
contributors to their communities.

The School supports teachers to develop their skills continually through
professional growth activities. Faculty develop innovative approaches to
curriculum, based upon current educational research, best practices, and
knowledge of state and national standards. To assure excellence, a
rigorous curriculum review process incorporates outside consultants,
visits to model programs in other schools, research and
self-examination.

Diversity is an important component of the academic excellence of the
School. In a school committed to a diverse student body, students learn
life lessons of understanding, acceptance, appreciation of differences
and the common ground that unites all. Learning occurs both within and
outside the confines of the School. Students learn to cooperate on the
athletic fields, in classroom projects, and as leaders in the school
community. They grow to understand their place in the broader community
through a service learning program linked closely to the curriculum.
They see their relationship with the natural world through an extensive
outdoor education program.
