Breakthrough San Francisco

At Breakthrough, we believe all young people should have access to an excellent education, a clear pathway to college, and highly effective teachers committed to their success. In pursuit of this vision, we provide intensive, year-round academic enrichment and support to motivated fifth – twelfth graders with limited educational opportunities, as well as persistence support for our college students. In addition, we train outstanding college students from across the country for education careers: developing their instructional skills, building their knowledge of pathways to teaching, and inspiring them to work in the field. Founded in 1993, we are a community involvement initiative of SF Day School, and one of 25 national affiliates of the Oakland-based organization Breakthrough Collaborative.
