We begin the day at 9:00 a.m. and classes end at 2:30 p.m. for younger children and 3 p.m. for the older children. We also provided extended day-care on mornings and afternoons.

We invite families to schedule a tour of the school and meet our teaching staff. Children are admitted throughout the year in all classrooms.

San Francisco since 1976.

2024/25 Fee Schedule

Tuition is based on an academic school year amount. The annual school year takes into consideration all holidays that the school is closed on. Tuition is for the full academic year (or remainder) and is not subject to adjustment due to illness, vacation or absence from school. We break that amount into equal monthly payments for your convenience. Some months are longer or shorter than others. This is why the tuition is a yearly fee and not a monthly fee. The monthly amount is simply a matter of convenience for making monthly payments.
