About Presidio Knolls School
Presidio Knolls School (PKS) was founded on the idea that a progressive educational model can be effectively combined with a rigorous and joyful Mandarin immersion experience to create a vibrant and innovative school where children will thrive. Founded in 2008, we have grown rapidly and established a unique position in the Bay Area’s independent school community, and now enroll about 390 students in preschool through eighth grade. 

The progressive philosophy of PKS embraces children as co-collaborators in their education – helping children to shape their own learning journey toward topics of greatest interest. The PKS curriculum is project-based and interdisciplinary; Units of Exploration integrate math, science, social studies, art, music, drama and movement around overarching topics of inquiry in English and Chinese, contextualizing all learning through a real-world lens. Critical to this approach is hands-on, experiential instruction. As such, learning often takes place outside of the classroom.
