"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."
