2019 San Francisco Education Fair
On October 5th San Francisco High School of the Arts and Bay Area Parent presents 2019 San Francisco Education Fair.
The 2019 San Francisco Education Fair will provide an opportunity for students and parents to educate themselves about their private education options in San Francisco. Students and families will also have access to leading authorities and practitioners in areas related to the college admission and enrollment process.
Engage with top-rated private and independent K-12 schools and meet face-to-face with school admission officials.
Our Educational Fair is open to families with children from all grade levels, from preschool to high school. The Education Fair is designed to reach out to these prospective students and their families and show them their options for elementary schools, secondary schools, and private colleges. To ensure accessibility to families with young children, we will provide a play place with a jumper slide (bounce house) for children 12 and under to play in.
