Arts
A vibrant, extraordinary part of our students' lives.
From Maternelle to Grade 12, our students foster a love of learning and aesthetics in the arts through a flexible and highly-personalized Arts curriculum that integrates French national and IB standards.
At The International School of San Francisco, our values of Respect, Integrity, Inclusion, Collaboration, and Curiosity permeate all levels of a student’s artistic journey as they become discerning observers, listeners, critical thinkers, and performers. Our Arts Pavilion is our home for the arts and a testament to how integral the arts are in our daily life.
Our faculty are all independent artists, performers, filmmakers, costume/set designers, editors, choreographers, and dancers—highly trained and globally-minded in outlook. We collaborate continually with other schools, organizations, festivals, and offer a wide variety of engaging masterclasses, workshops, and events to our student body and wider communities in addition to our daily curriculum.
