Adda Clevenger School
Want variety? San Francisco has it. Only New York City beats San Francisco in terms of the diversity of its private school offerings. There literally is a private school for every requirement and need. French, German, Russian and Chinese language schools, schools for the arts, choir schools, boys' and girls' schools, Jewish, Roman Catholic and Christian schools provide a wide array of options.

All the world's a stage. But if you really want to give your child a head start under the lights, then consider Adda Clevenger Junior Preparatory School and Theater School for Children. It's been a part of the SF scene since 1980. One of a handful of schools nationwide specializing in the performing arts, Adda Clevenger enjoys a fine reputation for teaching gifted children.
Does your son sing? Go to Nob Hill where you will find the Cathedral School for Boys. Part of the gorgeous Grace Cathedral complex, the Cathedral School is one of four choir schools still functioning in the United States. Your son will get a terrific musical education as well as first rate academics. The big plus? He gets to sing services before the rich and famous in a splendid Episcopal cathedral.
