We are delighted to introduce you to San Francisco Friends School! Located in San Francisco’s Mission neighborhood, we are an independent K-8 school offering an outstanding academic education that integrates the Quaker values of simplicity, integrity, mutual respect, service to others and peaceful problem solving.
San Francisco Friends School blends an academically challenging program with character development through human-centered, inquiry-driven learning. As a Quaker school, our approach to education is rooted in the Quaker testimonies of simplicity, peace, integrity, community, equality and stewardship—a 325-year tradition that remains deeply relevant today. We embrace both the joy and the challenge of learning, with a focus on the development of the whole child. Our students are thoughtful, capable, empathetic individuals who can reflect critically and act with integrity. They are curious, adaptable, purpose-driven leaders who seek to make a positive impact in their communities, and the world.
If you would like any further information, don't hesitate to contact us in the Admissions Office. I invite you to explore our website to learn more about our program and admissions process, and submit an inquiry to sign up for campus tours and admissions events this fall for the 2026-27 school year. We look forward to getting to know your family throughout the admissions process.

Friends kids are kind and empathetic and can read a room. They know how to listen with care and have comfort around difficulty. They know themselves and are also able to hold their intellectual and personal lives in context within a larger world.
