"The education that my child receives at Golden Bridges is beyond my wildest dreams, especially in a city like San Francisco. She is farming, hiking, singing, knitting, whittling, cooking, playing and learning how to be a compassionate, curious, creative, whole human being. Being part of the GBS community is incredibly enriching and fulfilling for our entire family. Together we are creating something really special and unique."
—GBS Parent

Meet the Teacher

Dandelion Preschool and Kindergarten Applicants:
You will be invited to have an online interaction with the teachers for 30-minutes.  We ask that your child make an appearance but they are free to be!
During the month of August, these meetings will be held on a weekday afternoon at the school farm with masks and with 6-feet of distance.  

Grade School Applicants:
The parents of the applicant will be connected to the class teacher to devise a personal plan for both the family and school to get to know one another.  This may include a visit to the school farm to meet the teacher, a visit to our campus, and/or a zoom or in-person meeting with another student in the class.
​
*For those applying for the 2021-2022 school year, this process is still TBD*
