Mission Statement
Buena Vista Horace Mann Community School is a K–8th grade public school in the Mission District of San Francisco, California. Our vision is to become the premier Two-Way Immersion School in the nation, where all students are bilingual and multicultural, and experience the opportunity to grow into academically successful students with deep social consciousness and develop flexible minds and bodies. Your contribution to the BVHM PTA helps fund essential school programs, from arts and music to tutoring and technology.
About This Cause
At Buena Vista Horace Mann K-8, all students will be bilingual, bi-literate, self-confident, independent learners who are actively engaged in rigorous academic instruction that fosters critical thinking and teaches them how to advocate constructively for themselves and their community. We are guiding our students to be excellent future citizens of our multicultural and diverse world. To this end, there are seven values we explicitly teach: perseverance, responsibility, integrity, bilingual community, flexibility, creativity, and empathy. Teachers facilitate weekly class meetings and other lessons to teach students what these values mean and what they look like in the classroom, on the yard, on field trips, and in the hallways. As a school, we focus our attention on one value each month during the school year. We talk about and build understanding about each month's value during community circles, staff meetings, meetings with families, student assemblies, and classroom meetings. We recognize and celebrate students throughout our school for living and practicing our community values. Our goal at Buena Vista Horace Mann is to successfully provide every one of our students with a strong education in both Spanish and English; to be a school where every single child that leaves us is prepared to be competitive in high schools in San Francisco and across the nation, and is well underway to being college ready or prepared for a career. In addition to being committed to high academic expectations for all students in math, literacy, science, social studies and language development, BVHM is also dedicated to providing students with diverse music, visual arts, dance, physical education, computer technology, library and media and theatrical education. This connects Buena Vista Horace Mann students, and their families, to the rich cultural communities of San Francisco.
