The Dahlia Schools of San Francisco are authentic Montessori, Spanish-immersion, and culturally rich learning communities currently serving children from 18 months through 9 years of age.

We understand that choosing the right school for your child is an important decision. That’s why we are committed to providing families with the information, guidance, and resources they need to make informed and confident choices. Here’s what you need to know:

School Tours (Recommended)

We understand that visiting our school campuses is an important part of the decision-making process. We are pleased to offer school tours, providing you with a firsthand experience of our facilities and the warm atmosphere at The Dahlia Schools.

During your visit, you’ll be guided on a Silent Journey Tour through our classrooms, where you can quietly observe each environment and imagine the experience through a child’s eyes. We will share insights about each classroom and answer your questions. Tours are designed for adults only, though babies in arms are always welcome.

Tours are offered on Friday mornings from 8:15 to 10:00 am, monthly from November through March. Select your preferred date and register to join us.

In our schools the environment itself teaches the children. The teacher only puts the child in direct contact with the environment, showing him how to use various things.
