Drew School


Drew School is an independent, coeducational, college-preparatory high school located in San Francisco, California, United States. The school was founded in 1908 by John Sheehan Drew and today serves grades 9–12.

History

Founded initially in 1908 as a single-student "coaching school" by Bay Area educator John Sheehan Drew, the school moved to its present location at California St. and Broderick St. in 1911. It underwent a complete renovation in 2001, designed by Perkins + Will; while also adding a attached performing arts wing known as the Cuddeback Wing, after Samuel Cuddeback III, who was head of school. The Cuddeback Wing was designed in 2011, and features a noted living wall designed by Patrick Blanc.
Drew School is accredited by the National Association of Independent Schools, the California Association of Independent Schools and the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.

Mission Statement

Drew knows and believes in teenagers. We engage each student in a process of intellectual discovery to develop an individual voice, the confidence to express it, and the empathy to understand its impact.
