At San Francisco Friends School, a K-8 co-ed school, students learn in a community grounded in the Quaker values of reflection, integrity, peaceful problem-solving and stewardship. Our teachers challenge students with a dynamic curriculum that inspires curiosity, cooperation and hard work. We teach children to listen to all voices and to trust their own. We engage with the world around us with kindness and conviction, working toward the Quaker ideal of a caring and just society.
San Francisco Friends School was started by a group of Bay Area
residents who share a vision of a K-8 co-educational independent
school that combines outstanding academics with Quaker values of
simplicity, integrity, mutual respect, and peaceful
problem-solving. Founders of the school include parents, educators,
business people, and volunteers. We are dedicated to creating in
San Francisco a unique school that serves an immediate community
need for superior elementary education informed by sustained and
thoughtful conversation about the emotional and spiritual growth of
our children. Friends schools strive to be socially responsible.
Teachers help students to understand issues of social justice, such
as respect for differences, nonviolence, and equality under the
law. Again, these complex topics are handled in age-appropriate
ways. Through service learning and participation in the community,
Friends schools are committed to working toward a more caring and
just society. The mission of San Francisco is to educate girls and
boys in the tradition of Quaker learning. By example and
commitment, we hope to inspire all connected with our school to
work together toward a peaceful and caring society.
