Thanks for your interest in Academy of Thought and Industry - San Francisco. For a personalized tour of our campus, or to have a phone call with our admissions team, please make selections below. We'll be in touch with you to confirm your meeting.
We're still accepting applications for the 2020-2021 school year!
If you're a student applying to enroll in our Fall 2020 cohort, it's not too late to join the ATI community.
We want our admissions process to be simple, friendly, purposeful and collaborative.
Greetings and thank you for considering ATI San Francisco. We know choosing a high school is a big decision, especially with a lot of wonderful schools in the Bay Area. We are lucky to be a part of a diverse and inclusive community in the heart of San Francisco. We are proud to share ATI with you and eager to partner with you and your child to make the best decision for your family.
I encourage you to explore our website, to read through our core values and learn more about the expertise of our guides, in addition to the culture and community we aspire to create for our students. We are an intentionally small school, and it is important to us to build connection with families, especially during this time of change in our society. Our goal is to ensure our students contribute to our community and are ready to take advantage of what we offer.
We are excited to get to know you and for you to be inspired by what is possible here at ATI.

Sign Up for a Shadow Day (recommended but not required)
Once we've had a chance to meet and you're ready to learn more about the ATI experience, we highly encourage, but do not require, students to sign up to attend a Shadow Day at ATI. Our shadow day allows prospective students to have an authentic day-in-the-life experience of our school, to connect with current students and staff, and to engage in our learning community. We welcome students and provide support and check-ins throughout the day to make sure they have what they need to feel comfortable and engaged.
Space is limited, and we accommodate shadowing on Tuesdays and Thursdays only.
If you do not shadow, we will set up a time for an interview with the student and family.
Our application for 2021-2022 is available now!
Here is what our application process looks like:
Parents will be asked to share contact information.
Students will be asked to answer a set of application questions so we can get to know them better.
Students will be asked to provide current transcripts.
Students will be asked to provide 2 letters of recommendation from adults who know your student well.
If your family is applying for financial aid, you will be asked to submit appropriate financial information in FAST.
