Devin W.
About Me
Hi, I'm Devin and I am an 11th grader. I use he/him pronouns and I went to San Francisco Day School. I chose to attend Urban for so many reasons, the most important of which being the teacher-student relationships and the academic excellence. Teachers and students at Urban have a close connection that allows students to feel comfortable engaging with teachers and paves the way for deeper learning. And the small class size and room for mistakes make Urban a highly academic environment where all kinds of students can thrive.

Brian M.
About Me
I'm a parent of two children who attended Presidio Hill School prior to enrolling at Urban. My children participate in sports including lacrosse, cross country, rock climbing and volleyball in addition to numerous clubs. "Why did you believe Urban School of San Francisco would be a good fit for your family? Urban's focus on student-teacher interpersonal relationships was the main reason that we knew Urban would be a good fit for our family. Our children strive in interactive environments and the Urban teachers are fantastic at facilitating discussions and encouraging student participation. Also, the community creates a safe plane that encourages students to always be their authentic selves."
