Goals

San Francisco City Academy’s goal is to provide a safe environment for a high-quality learning experience. We believe a child should have a solid foundation in both academic and character development to succeed in life. Our goal is to ensure that success. 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. 

 What We Offer

To further achieve our mission and goals, San Francisco City Academy continues to develop additional opportunities within and beyond the curriculum for students:

Continued development of a STEAM Lab and Makerspace Kits to support students acquiring college and career readiness skills as they relate to Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics.

Curation of community partners and context experts to leverage their real-world experiences to provide additional learning opportunities for students from athletics to arts and more!

Access to an on-site library where students can check out books to further boost their literacy skills.

Exploration of Genius Hours or 20 Time in some classrooms, where students are given time to explore academic passions or interests independently.

SFCA partners with local organizations and doctors to provide yearly school-wide health screenings to ensure that students are healthy. These organizations will also provide age appropriate lessons on healthy lifestyle choices.

  • Kindergarten - Second Grade

    Foundational skills are critical in the lower elementary ages, and our curriculum emphasizes acquiring those skills in a way that aligns with the developmental needs of students. Basic reading skills and number sense are key elements of the standards, strengthening necessary skills for future growth. The curriculum also emphasizes self-awareness, community, and necessary social skills.
