SFUSD officials Thursday officially announced the August 2026 opening of Mission Bay School, with seats initially available for pre-K, transitional kindergarten and kindergarten, and the subsequent grade levels phased in by 2032.
Mission Bay School will be the first San Francisco public school to open in 20 years when it opens in August.

Overview

  • The campus will open with pre-K, transitional kindergarten and kindergarten, adding grades each year to reach fifth grade by 2032.
  • Construction is projected to finish in early 2026 ahead of the planned fall launch.
  • The project carries a $129 million price tag funded by the voter-approved 2016 Proposition A bond.
  • Plans include teacher-training facilities and a science and technology hub offering pathways for high school students.
  • Officials say phasing is intended to avoid disruptive enrollment shifts across SFUSD, though some local parents object to likely unused classrooms and limited access for older students.
