As you navigate through the admission process, we are here to help. You can expect to discover how SF Day’s mission-driven curriculum and visionary program exemplifies the best of a joyful K-8 school experience in the center of the city of San Francisco. It’s a coeducational community where your child is met where they are, encouraged to face productive struggle, and celebrated, known, and understood by their teachers and peers.
