Progressive San Francisco Schools
The Urban School of San Francisco (9-12)
The Urban School of San Francisco seeks to ignite a passion for learning, inspiring its students to become self-motivated, enthusiastic participants in their education – both in high school and beyond.
The Discovery Center School (K-12)
At DCS, we believe education is more than just an accumulation of facts. We serve our students as the sensitive, intelligent, creative beings they are. We believe the purpose of our school is to provide a safe and supportive learning environment so that our students may nurture and develop the unique excellence within each of them.
Founded by an SF State Professor, Dr. Patrick A. O'Donnell.
Drew College Preparatory School (9-12)
Drew students take part in integrative, hands-on, and experiential learning to connect what happens in the classroom with the world beyond our doors. Drew gives students an education for life.
San Francisco School of the Arts (9-12)
Aims to provide a program of instruction in which content from the arts is integrated into traditional non-arts subject areas and includes attention to multi-cultural arts.
