New School San Francisco is a public school currently serving over 400 kindergarten through 8th grade students from all corners of the city and from all backgrounds. We believe in a “hands on minds on” approach to learning that harnesses each student’s curiosity and encourages learners to construct their own meaning and knowledge through inquiry-based learning. We practice equity in all that we do – ensuring every child is able to access and receive an individualized education that builds off their unique strengths, skills and passions. Social justice is also a through line in all we do; we help learners develop an understanding of how to make our community better. Taken all together, this approach fosters a deep love of learning in students and prepares them with the problem-solving and critical-thinking skills necessary to meet the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century.
We are committed to breaking down systemic structures which contribute to deep inequities in education. Our goal is to prioritize the success and wellbeing of our Black and brown students, English Language Learners (ELLs), and students with Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) by dismantling white supremacy. We continuously question our culture, climate, and curriculum to ensure all members of our community are committed to being racially literate and ultimately anti-racist change makers. We value hard work, and we also value self care. The two are not mutually exclusive.
The Director of School Operations (DoSO) is responsible for the day-to-day school processes that ensure student safety, wellbeing, and a community that works harmoniously together with high efficiency and joy. The DoSO is in charge of fostering strong family relationships, exceptional customer service, excellent compliance records, and strong vendor management. Key to success is an eye for detail, a focus on relationships, and an affinity for systems creation and improvement. The DoSO works ensures that the lights are on and bright so that students can learn and teachers can teach. The DoSO reports to the COO.
