Cypress School of San Francisco

The Cypress School of San Francisco in the Presidio of San Francisco offers a curriculum based on the constructivist philosophy where children construct knowledge and understanding from authentic experiences – they’re encouraged to explore possibilities, invent solutions, collaborate with others, and try out ideas in the context of meaningful experiences. These real-life experiences make connections that inspire and provoke, fostering inquiry and critical thinking. 

Parental involvement is a critical component of Cypress School of San Francisco. Parents act as partners in the classroom, working alongside the teachers during the school year. Parents are given an opportunity within the low adult-child ratio setting to closely observe and learn from and with their children with support and guidance from experienced teachers. As a result of this unique setting, partnership and experiences, learning, teaching, and parenting are enriched and transformed.
