San Francisco Day School
San Francisco Day School is a private, co-educational day school for kindergarten through 8th grade in San Francisco, California, established 1981. Accordingly, SFDS is a highly competitive feeder school academically preparing students for boarding schools and other specialized high schools.
Overview
The school serves 421 students from K-8 under current Head of School, Dr. Racheal Adriko. SFDS is one of the only private, nonsectarian schools in the city to not require language immersion or specialty-focused student body, for a well-rounded education and student life.
Academics
Students in grades 3-8 take the annual Educational Records Bureau Comprehensive Testing Program for individual, class, and national comparison, then the SSAT as a feeder school for high school admissions.
Service learning
Since 1993, SFDS has served as the Breakthrough Collaborative San Francisco partner, helping under-served community students with application-based, tuition-free academic enrichment and a pathway to college. The school, students, and parents donate funding, time, and physical resources to tackle educational inequality.
Campus
SFDS recently completed a campus expansion which has a theatre, art room, music room, rooftop garden, and housing for teachers. This expansion also includes a renovated outdoor space.
