Alamo Elementary School is truly an extraordinary place of learning. We believe all students will learn and achieve. The tradition to uphold excellence is a prevailing driver of the Alamo culture. Through equity, integrity, and vision, Alamo continues to demonstrate its proud tradition of solid results, high achievement, and academic excellence.

Our arts program is a vital component for creating an equitable environment for all students. Through the arts, students can choose opportunities to discover and develop their unique interests and strengths.

Alvarado is more than a school; we are a community. We are a School of Languages, a School of Arts, and a School of Cultures and Social Justice. Our mission is to reach and teach the heart and soul of the child through fertile academic and art programs. We rely on our strong belief in community, equity, and the transformative power of education to empower our students to achieve their full potential. Alvarado offers a quality general education as well as an award-winning Spanish-English Dual Immersion Program.

VISION: Scholars will exit Aptos with a mastery of the Common Core State Standards, able to display their core knowledge, critical thinking skills, and general academic competency. They will have developed 21st century skills, providing them with an agentic perspective that allows them to navigate and engage in a more inclusive, interconnected, multilingual way. The Aptos Scholar is able to solve “real world” problems with the confidence, freedom, and ability to express their unique selves.

Our mission at Argonne Early Education School is to protect and honor childhood as well as to respect children’s insatiable appetite for joyful learning. We focus on children’s competencies in a play-based intentionally designed learning environment to ensure successful learning outcomes in all areas of development.

We envision Argonne students who desire and have the ability to utilize their minds in a critical, creative manner—neither fearful to experiment with new ideas nor afraid to make a mistake. Argonne provides an academic program based on the core values of interdisciplinary teaching, multiple intelligences, and the development of creative and critical thinking.

Mission:  The Ruth Asawa San Francisco School of the Arts is a college preparatory school that provides an experience uniquely rooted in dynamic arts programs that reflect our city’s cultural diversity.
