School Operations during COVID-19

Golden Bridges School is starting our school year operating an in-person, outdoors Preschool program (Dandelion) and Kindergarten through 6th Grade are operating a distance learning program supplemented with in-person hikes within a stable cohort by class.

Golden Bridges School operations follow the guidance of the San Francisco Department of Public Health (SFDPH), the California Department of Public Health (CDPH​) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). We appreciate our community’s responsiveness as we share information essential to our Golden Bridges School operations and will continue to keep our community updated as to current guidance, offering supplemental information and resources as they become available.

Golden Bridges Mission

Golden Bridges School offers an innovative, place-based education steeped in the urban outdoors of the southern neighborhoods of San Francisco.  With a passionate commitment to the development of the whole human being, we strive to harmonize the physical, emotional, and intellectual life of each child. ​

By bringing developmentally appropriate academic rigor through hands-on experience, nourishment of the imagination, care for the earth, and a commitment to social justice, we equip our students with the tools to become free-thinking, moral human beings. ​

Learning takes practice, even for schools

Privilege allows some to look the other way, to not take up the task, to be indifferent, to stop learning. 

Meaningful learning requires questioning and discomfort. Transformative learning requires practice.

In our work, we strive to identify systems of oppression, acknowledge and question our participation in those systems, and take actions to create policies and practices to dismantle these systems and foster equity for the well-being of our children and the betterment of the world.

Oppression takes form in racism, militarism, capitalism, sexism, heterosexism, ableism, ethnocentrism, anthropocentrism, authoritarianism, nationalism and dogmatism.

​Equity takes form in the movements of anti-racism, environmentalism, feminism, pluralism, altruism. 

​Together we navigate this complex world and moment by moment we are challenged to dismantle oppression and strive for equity.

"One of our responsibilities as human people is to find ways
to enter into reciprocity with the more-than-human world.
We can do it through gratitude, through ceremony, through
land stewardship, science, art and
​in everyday acts of practical reverence."

- Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass
