History and Philosophy
Saints Peter and Paul Salesian School, located across from Washington Square Park in North Beach, has maintained a tradition of educational excellence in San Francisco since its inception in 1925.
Saints Peter and Paul Salesian School has been under the direction of the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians since 1950. Our school adopts the educational system and philosophy of Saint John Bosco, the founder of the Salesian order.
The system, characterized by warmth, optimism and joy is youth-oriented. Saint John Bosco based his educational system on the concepts of reason, religion, and loving kindness. Saints Peter and Paul Salesian School strives to create a respectful rapport among faculty, staff, students and parents. Our educators seek to create a welcoming presence that attracts and interests students. Our true mission is, as Saint John Bosco said, "To Create Good Citizens of Earth and of Heaven."
