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.
Each year, San Francisco Friends School enrolls 44 new Kindergartners, 10–20 new Middle–Schoolers, and a handful of students in other grades if spots become available. These students and their families come to Friends with a diverse array of experiences, perspectives, and gifts. Each student and family brings a commitment to the life and spirit of our educational community, a desire for both academic excellence and social-emotional development, and a willingness to engage in a Quaker education.
We hope you will share our delight in the compelling educational mission at Friends—a mission that encourages lifelong learning, reflection, service to others, and peaceful problem-solving.
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 2025-26 school year. We look forward to getting to know your family throughout the admissions process.
With gratitude,
The San Francisco Friends School Admissions Team

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.
