The San Francisco elementary school that’s immersed a who’s who of the city’s French immigrants and well-heeled children in a healthy dose of French and religion is marking the 100th anniversary of its founding.
“At our founding, French was very important to the school because we served a French immigrant population,” Currier said. “Most of the school families were native French speakers.” Lorda recalled her days playing on the school’s playground, surrounded by apartment buildings, which look exactly the same today.
The school, which once also included a high school that was later eliminated, has a population of about 300 grammar students. An extensive arts and music program are among its offerings, with a sophisticatedly disheveled art lab that looks as though a beret-wearing artist might pop out of the shelves at any time. French culture seems sewn into every aspect. Parent and art patron Jess Shriber said her family chose the school for her children after touring a number of other San Francisco schools.
