The Three Pillars of La Scuola
The first Italian immersion and International Baccalaureate (IB) World School in North America inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach.
Italian Language Immersion
From early childhood through Grade 8, children learn organically through immersion. Bilingualism enhances executive function, cultural agility, and deep global empathy.
Reggio Emilia Atelier
Honoring the child as an active co-constructor of knowledge. Dedicated atelier spaces for clay, light, wire, and digital media invite creative scientific inquiry.
International Baccalaureate
Rigorous inquiry-based continuum for Grades K–8 cultivating courageous, compassionate lifelong learners who ask great questions and take meaningful community action.
Two Campuses, One Thriving Community
Thoughtfully designed learning spaces in the heart of San Francisco where children and families gather.
Mission Campus
Our elementary and middle school campus featuring a historic central piazza for assemblies, maker ateliers, a state-of-the-art science lab, rooftop garden, and gymnasium.
Dogpatch Campus
A dedicated early childhood sanctuary with custom Reggio Emilia light & shadow studios, natural materials workshops, and safe sunlit play courtyards.
PALS: The Heartbeat of Our Volunteer Network
Every parent and guardian is automatically a member of PALS. From serving on the Festa d'Autunno pizza ovens to leading atelier art workshops and coaching Calcio youth soccer, parent engagement brings our school community to life.
