Education On Purpose

Every day at San Domenico, exceptional academics and our core values cultivate lives grounded in a sense of purpose. Our community dedicates itself to discovering and celebrating meaning, purpose, and joy as part of every endeavor. And when our children uncover their purpose, they recognize that the most powerful motivation possible can come from within. Grounded in our core values of study, reflection, community, service, at SD we believe that what students do with their education is as important as their academic performance. Every day we encourage our students to not just study, but also to reflect on their learning, find their purpose, and celebrate in community, because an exceptional education, where values and academics join together, creates more than just great students—it develops great people.

Our 500-acre solar powered campus provides a living laboratory for hands-on learning and fosters a deep understanding of eco-literacy and sustainability. Small classes, an international student body, and an extraordinarily dedicated faculty allow students to find their voice, follow their passions, and reach their full potential as life long learners and global citizens. Deeply committed to helping students develop their unique gifts and talents, our programs offer on campus:

• Globally acclaimed music conservatory
• State-of-the-art athletic center
• Swimming pool
• Equestrian center
• One-acre organic garden with outdoor classroom and kitchen
• Visual arts studio
• Digital arts program
• Makers program
• Internationally recognized theatre program.

While much information about our philosophy, curriculum, and community can be found on our website, the best way to get to know SD is to come visit. We suggest you schedule a school tour to experience firsthand our joyful, engaged, faculty, students, and staff. Tours run from September through early February; visit days are filling quickly.

We look forward to meeting you and welcoming you to campus! If you have any questions, please feel free to email admissions@sandomenico.org or call our admissions office at (415) 258-1905.

Wishing you a joyful school search!
