Student Life
Stretch, grow, and write your story.
At San Domenico, student life isn't something that happens to our students — it's something they build. Panthers start clubs, lead service projects, choose their own paths through the arts, athletics, and everything in between, and shape a campus culture that's genuinely their own. With that kind of room to explore, students discover who they are and start writing their own story.
From music lessons to play rehearsals, student clubs to service outings, basketball practice to the 3D Lab, the opportunities are wide open. What you make of them is up to you.
A Global Community
Our regional, domestic, and international boarding students make up a third of our Upper School student body. All of our K-12 students—day and boarding alike—gain from the perspectives of 20+ countries on campus. And with 515 acres to call home, students take full advantage of what our campus has to offer, whether that means painting in the creekside Visual Arts studio, taking a dip in the pool, or exploring 20 miles of hiking trails right out the front door.

Exploring the Arts
At San Domenico, the studio, the stage, and the screen are yours to create something new. From a conservatory-level strings program to rock band performances across the Bay Area, from nationally acclaimed films to dance, theatre, and visual arts, there are no boundaries to exploring and discovering your creative passions.
Panther Pride
Winning matters at San Domenico, but it's never the whole story. Whether winning state championships or putting in the work during practice, SD Athletics is guided by the Double-Goal Philosophy: that the most important victories are the ones that shape who you become. Our coaches bring elite-level experience as professional athletes and coaches, and an equal commitment to mentoring the whole student-athlete. The result? A program where 70% of students compete, lead, and grow.
