Breakthrough San Francisco

At Breakthrough, we believe all children should have access to an excellent education and highly effective teachers committed to their success. In pursuit of this vision, we provide intensive, year-round academic enrichment and support to motivated elementary, middle, and high school students with limited educational opportunities, helping them attend four-year colleges. In addition, we train outstanding college students from across the country for education careers: developing their instructional skills, building their knowledge of pathways to teaching, and inspiring them to work in the field. We are an initiative of San Francisco Day School, a co-educational independent school that values academic excellence for all students, whether in public or in private schools. We are one of two dozen national affiliates of the San Francisco-based organization Breakthrough Collaborative.
