Live Oak School Elementary School

Live Oak School is an independent K-8 school in San Francisco's Potrero Hill neighborhood. Our enrollment is around 420 students annually and includes students from diverse backgrounds and neighborhoods throughout San Francisco and surrounding cities. Our challenging and responsive academic program is built around a constructivist teaching and learning pedagogy wherein students engage in real-world learning that integrates classroom curriculum with meaningful hands-on experiences. At Live Oak, faculty actively encourage students to think critically, ask questions, and let their creativity and curiosity drive their learning. Lower school classrooms feature two full-time, fully qualified co-teachers to offer a learning experience that allows for all students to be supported and challenged as needed to unlock their full potential. Faculty build their teaching practice around knowing students well so that they can teach them effectively. Middle school students expand their skills by deepening their exploration of literature, math, science, and social issues, building valuable real-world perspective that guides their ability to engage in purposeful work beyond the classroom. They pursue their passions by taking part in twice-annual theater productions, competing in interscholastic athletics, and performing in a range of musical and art showcases throughout the year.
