Alta Vista School - Lower School

Welcome to Alta Vista School - Lower School!

Nestled in the heart of San Francisco, Alta Vista School is a warm and inviting place for young learners, from junior kindergarten all the way to 8th grade. We believe in a progressive and independent approach to education that sparks curiosity and creativity in every child.

At Alta Vista, our STEAM-powered curriculum is all about hands-on, experiential learning. This means your child will dive into exciting projects that encourage them to think creatively and explore new ideas. We’re not just preparing students for the future; we’re helping them become innovators and catalysts for positive change in the world.

We also understand the importance of social-emotional learning. Our school is a place where every child feels valued and included. We celebrate diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging, ensuring that all students can thrive in a supportive environment.

With low student-to-teacher ratios, your child will receive plenty of personal attention. Each classroom in our lower school features two lead teachers, allowing for a rich and engaging learning experience.

Finally, we are proud of our vibrant parent community. Parents are not just spectators; they are active participants in our school life, helping to create a nurturing and dynamic atmosphere for all.

Join us at Alta Vista School, where learning is an adventure and every child is encouraged to shine!
