About

Origin Story

San Francisco City Academy, a ministry of San Francisco City Impact, was founded in 1997 with one teacher and seven children. 

There were no schools in the Tenderloin at the time, and an overall lack of educational resources. The school was founded because of the realization that the children we had been helping on the weekends needed more time to develop and grow. 

What We Offer

Throughout each school day, students will engage with standards-aligned content through direct instruction, collaborative group work, and individualized tasks to ensure not just knowledge acquisition, but relevant application.

Our small class sizes allow for individualized attention throughout the learning process, supporting all students to achieve high expectations and develop a strong academic foundation.

We Believe.

SFCA offers a faith-based education for students to develop a strong Biblical and Christ-centered foundation. Students will attend weekly chapels and engage in daily Bible lessons, including worship and prayer. Our teaching staff and school leadership adhere to SFCI's statement of faith and teach and lead students in Christ-centered character, that is infused into all aspects of teaching and learning.

GOAL.

Research shows that certain underlying characteristics are necessary for student success. Those characteristics are emphasized throughout the year.

They are how SFCA students hit their G.O.A.L (God first, Ownership, Access & Inclusion, Love your Neighbor).
