Drew School is an independent, urban high school in San Francisco enrolling 280 students in  grades 9 through 12. Drew knows and believes in teenagers. Drew engages each student in  a process of intellectual discovery to develop an individual voice, the confidence to express  it, and the empathy to understand its impact. Drew combines a student-centered curriculum  with a dedicated, passionate faculty committed to best practices in their disciplines, equity  and inclusion, social-emotional learning, and differentiated instruction. We believe that  teenagers need a safe haven and meaningful relationships to open their minds to  possibilities, emphasizing their unique journey of defining success on their own terms. The  faculty meets weekly to engage in discussion and professional development with a focus on  best practices in education, such as equity and inclusion, social-emotional learning, and  adolescent development.
