Southside Family Charter School

Southside Family School (SFS) is a small urban k-8 program dedicated to academic excellence, innovation in curriculum, and parent and community involvement.

We offer small class sizes that concentrate on individualized instruction and a warm and safe learning environment.

We focus on a social justice curriculum that teaches students to be independently minded citizens who respect themselves and others.

We stress basic skills, encourage creative expression and offer a range of electives.

In an atmosphere free of racism, sexism, classism and homophobia, we honor diverse cultural identities, encourage volunteer participation, use the community as a classroom, develop curriculum, advocate for families, and engage children in issues of social justice, decision-making and problem solving.
