San Francisco School vs. Synergy School

The San Francisco School cultivates and celebrates the intellectual, imaginative and humanitarian promise of each student in a community that practices mutual respect, embraces diversity, and inspires a passion for learning.

We are an independent TK-8 school founded more than 50 years ago as an educational cooperative, where teachers are respected for their expertise and leadership.

We nurture each child`s intellectual, creative, and emotional potential and honor neuro-diversity and learning styles.

Our approach to education is hands-on and experiential and encourages open-ended and critical thinking. Outdoor education is important to us and provides for exploration and experiences that foster stewardship of the natural world and its resources.
