- List of afterschool language programs - provided by San Francisco Advocates for Multilingual Excellence
Get to know the schools by seeing them for yourself.
- Visit schools through tours, open houses
and school events. See our Calendar.

necessarily reflect its quality.
- Get in contact with a PPS Parent Ambassador to get the parent perspective of their school.
Look for schools that reflect your values for community and academics.
- Consider factors such as School Leadership and Community Participation.
- You should feel welcome to join the school community. See our Parent Testimonials to find schools that sound like a good fit for you.
