The academic program provides the opportunity for each child to discover the joy of learning and the pleasure of life long pursuits - intellectual, cultural, social, and physical. The school seeks a partnership with each child's family, based on mutual respect, trust, and open communication. The academic program at San Francisco Day School places a strong emphasis on the basic skills of reading, writing, and computation, as well as the important skills of problem solving and critical thinking. It aims to give an understanding of diverse cultures and scientific principles in a changing world. The curriculum includes art, music, and physical education and takes full advantage of San Francisco's multicultural urban environment.
Older students receive instruction in computer, foreign language, and outdoor education.
Small class size permits personal attention and challenging exchanges. The school encourages students to transfer acquired knowledge and values to daily life at home, school, and community. Morning physical education classes meet on the large field of the USF campus. Centrally located on major bus routes, the school serves students from every neighborhood in San Francisco.
