School Overview

S.F. County Civic Center Secondary is a specialized alternative education program within the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD). Located in the heart of the city’s Civic Center district, the school is designed to support students who may benefit from a more flexible or supportive academic environment than that offered by a traditional high school setting. Its primary mission is to provide credit recovery opportunities, personalized instruction, and a focused pathway toward high school graduation for students who need to get back on track academically.

Because the school operates under the umbrella of the SFUSD, it adheres to district-wide educational standards while maintaining a smaller, more intimate campus culture. This structure allows faculty to provide individualized attention, helping students address specific learning hurdles, improve attendance, and develop the skills necessary for post-secondary success. By offering a smaller classroom ratio and a dedicated staff, the school serves as a vital resource for students seeking to overcome educational barriers in a supportive, urban environment.
