HQ Significance:

The Haight-Ashbury location provides a unique urban learning environment, rich in cultural and historical context, deeply integrated with the city of San Francisco. The campus itself is a vital center for its diverse student body and active parent and alumni community.

Location:

The Urban School of San Francisco primarily serves students from the Bay Area. Its global presence is manifested through a curriculum that emphasizes global perspectives, diverse international trip opportunities (when available), and an inclusive community that may include students and faculty with international backgrounds. The school does not operate international campuses or offices but aims to cultivate global citizens.
