Overview
MISSION
The New School of San Francisco demonstrates a holistic, 21st century education that instills a love of learning now, and prepares students and families for success in the future.
VISION
All San Francisco students receive an education that is equal to their extraordinary potential regardless of their background.
DEMOGRAPHICS
New School San Francisco believes all children benefit from an intentionally diverse learning environment. We continue to work to ensure our student population roughly mirrors that of the city of San Francisco. Our 2021-22 demographic data will be posted shortly.
SCHOOL ESTABLISHMENT
Our charter petition was authorized by the California State Board of Education on March 12, 2015 and serves to guide all our decisions and policies. The petition details all aspects of our school model, including but not limited to: our vision, educational philosophy, hiring, governance structure, admission policies, emergency procedures and recruitment plan. Additionally, all documents related to establishing NSSF as a nonprofit organization such as our 501c3 determination letter, bylaws, articles of incorporation and board policy can be found below.
