Language Arts at SFDS

 

Philosophical Overview

The San Francisco Day School English/Language Arts program supports the underpinnings of the school philosophy in that it is designed to stimulate students to think critically and creatively about literature and language. Every day, classrooms are abuzz with language-rich activities. At the same time, a structured focus on reading, writing, English language conventions, speaking, and listening ensures mastery of basic skills at each grade level. Kindergarten through eighth grade, Language Arts teachers recognize the importance of age-appropriateness and developmental readiness in skills acquisition. Students leave SFDS empowered by a rich knowledge of literature and a strong ability to interpret and wield language in its many forms.
