This school has been claimed by the school or a school representative.

Presidio Hill School is an independent, progressive school located in the Presidio Heights neighborhood of San Francisco. Established in 1918 by artist-educator-activists, Presidio Hill School is the oldest continuously operating progressive school in California.

Presidio Hill offers our students a challenging, project-based curriculum that attends to their intellectual and social-emotional needs and prepares them to be agents of positive social change. Guided by a skilled and caring faculty, students learn to be confident and curious, to be creative problem solvers and critical thinkers. Learning at PHS is collaborative and active. We place great value on the arts as both an academic discipline and an essential element of a meaningful life. Situated on the edge of the Presidio, our school takes full and frequent advantage of the park’s 1500 acres; whether they are studying science, art, social studies, or literature, the Presidio is a rich and vital “classroom” to our students.
