Arts Enrichment
The arts are a highly valued component of the Sherman experience at every grade level since they serve as a means to reinforce academic content, encourage voice and creative expression, as well as offering students multiple ways to express their cultures and personalities.
We partner with a variety of arts organizations to provide students access to the arts, including the San Francisco Symphony AIMS program, the San Francisco Ballet, SF ARTs Program, SFUSD's Visual and Performing Arts Program (for visual art and instrumental music), Hip-Hop dance classes, and lunchtime dance clubs.
