The name Arbor reflects our desire to grow students like a tree through holistic education so that they may:

• be rooted in knowledge and Christ's teachings

• branch out to influence their communities and
• bear good fruit as servant leaders in San Fransisco and the world 

At Arbor, our staff functions as a multi-cultural family. At any given time you may hear English, Spanish or Haitian Creole. This staff family, together, serves approximately 120 students K-6. Our school body consists primarily of Dominican and Haitian students, extending across a wide range of socio-economic statuses. Twenty-five percent of our student body receives tuition assistance, which is primarily funded by our community English program.

Mix a bustling and growing city, surrounded by rice fields and mountains... and there you have San Fransisco. There is much to explore not far from our region, including diverse mountains, rivers, waterfalls and beaches.
