Presidio Knolls School (PKS) was founded on a bold premise: that progressive, student-centered education and rigorous Mandarin immersion are not competing priorities—but powerful complements. For nearly two decades, PKS has demonstrated that children can experience deep joy in learning while achieving exceptional academic and linguistic fluency.
Our progressive philosophy positions students as co-constructors of their knowledge, helping children to shape their own learning. Classrooms are active laboratories of inquiry where students engage in hands-on, interdisciplinary project-based learning that connect academic disciplines to real-world questions.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. Learning frequently extends beyond the classroom walls, to our campus, our city, and the world.
