Mission
Our mission is to catalyze an integrated community of middle-school learners to be scholar-activists who are designers of a more just world. In order to design a more just world, our students require an education that embraces and lives out a set of core beliefs about what it means to be human.
Our Academics
We believe in the importance of educating the whole child to become an informed global citizen. Our curriculum enables our scholars to engage in meaningful work, while still meeting high standards of academics.

In the 2022-2023 school year, 97% of students engaged in social justice learning expeditions. This means that students went on unique field trips, did collaborative research with other students across the city, and pursued cross-subject projects.
Student Life
Community as at the core of all that we do here at SJS. Students meet with their Crew, a small-group of peers and one teacher, every week to discuss everything from studying habits to Kendrick Lamar to self-care.
They also can participate in a variety of activities like the basketball team and chess club or do an internship with one of our partner organizations. We have an active group of guardians, teachers, and administrators who are passionate about supporting students on their journeys.
