We aspire to create a welcoming, diverse, equitable and inclusive (DEI) environment where every person feels that they can be who they are, and that their whole identity is seen, known, and respected. We make an effort each year to create a school class that represents a balanced cross-section of the community we serve. 

We adhere closely to the Scandinavian preschool model, which emphasizes the social and emotional growth of a child. Please sign up for a tour of the school to see if our school, and its philosophy towards early childhood education, is a good fit for your family. For more information, email us at info@scandinavianschool.org.

Siblings and children of alumni parents are given special consideration in admissions. We also take into consideration other factors such as age, familiarity with a Scandinavian language and a demonstrated dedication to the Scandinavian School and Cultural Center’s values and our community.  

The Scandinavian School in San Francisco admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin and religious affiliation to all rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school.
