Who We Are
The only multilingual, International Baccalaureate (IB) Education for San Francisco Middle Schools.
No Italian is required for incoming students! 70% of the curriculum is taught in English. Students arriving in Grade 6 can take Italian at the beginner, intermediate, or advanced level.
Not all private middle schools in the Bay Area are alike. We believe that La Scuola's middle school program provides students with a strong foundation for success in high school, college and life. La Scuola middle school students have inquisitive minds, are phenomenal collaborators and empathetic global citizens. They don't just think outside the box, they know that the box is an illusion. The curriculums we have combined are proven to build critical thinking skills, creative acumen, and a global perspective through the rigor of the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Program (IB-MYP).
The IB-MYP aims to develop active learners and internationally minded young people who can empathize with others and pursue lives of purpose and meaning. The program empowers students to inquire into a wide range of issues and ideas of significance locally, nationally and globally. The result is young people who are creative, critical and reflective thinkers.
We also maintain our strong Reggio Emilia pedagogy in middle school, ensuring subject work is planned such that students may indulge their passions in art, music, and the environment, to name a few. We believe that multilingual education builds empathy along with executive function, and that our students graduate as independent learners and creative, critical and reflective thinkers.
