Admission

Welcome to SF Day's Office of Admission!

We are delighted that you are considering San Francisco Day School! For over 40 years, SF Day has led the way in student-centered, K-8 intentional coeducation in the heart of the city.

Finding the right school for your child is an exciting journey, one where you will imagine your child developing their intellect and their character. At the journey’s end, you will have a deeper understanding of what is important to you, your child(ren), and your family.

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.

Curious? We are here to answer any questions you have about our school or the process. The best way to reach us is by email: admission@sfday.org.
