Since 1850, the all-girls San Domenico Upper School has offered young women a distinctive education and unique opportunity to develop their creativity and passions while exploring new interests. Day and boarding students participate actively in small, rigorous academic classes with Honors and AP courses offered across the curriculum. A professional music conservatory, a regionally recognized theatrical program, riding stables, a superb teaching faculty and the integrity of the school community distinguish us. State-of-the-art facilities for arts and athletics and proximity to cultural events complement campus life on 515 spectacular acres 20 miles northwest of San Francisco.
