Presidio Schools

A SAFE PLACE TO EXPLORE AND LEARN

 In Spanish, presidio means fort, a place of safety.  Presidio Schools are just that, a safe place to explore and learn.  Presidio Schools offer an exciting and positive education atmosphere in which students are taught the value of respect, responsibility, and diversity. Our learning community encourages independence of thought and deed, while teaching the need for self-imposed limits so as not to infringe upon the rights and freedoms of other community members.
