Welcome, and thank you for considering Alvarado Elementary School! Alvarado is a dual-immersion, TK-5th grade school offering a wide variety of academic and special enrichments enhanced by a strong PTA and tremendous support from our parents, teachers, and administrators. 

Families can choose from four student programs at Alvarado: Spanish Immersion (K-5), General Education (K-5), Transitional Kindergarten, and our Special Day Classes (K-5). 

We are in the process of finalizing school tours for families considering enrollment in fall of 2025 for the 2026-2027 school year.  SFUSD centralizes tour registration and expects to open the signup form around October 1, 2025  Please check this website for more details:

Once registration opens, select Alvarado Elementary and your specific tour date can be selected from the dropdown menu.  Tours tend to fill quickly, so please be flexible about your preferred date.

Please note that once a tour is full, that date will no longer be offered in the dropdown menu.  We look forward to introducing you to our school where our long tradition of celebrating diversity and creative arts provides a vibrant and inclusive learning environment for our students and families

During a tour, you will learn about academics and social emotional learning at Alvarado, receive an inside look at several grade-level classrooms (with an emphasis on TK and Kindergarten), hear directly from student ambassadors, and learn about before and after school care options. 

We are also excited to share with you our unique enrichment programs including instrumental learning in music, computer lab, a bilingual school library, take-home book bags, ceramics, hand-painted murals, year-round multicultural celebrations, family social events, and much, much more!

We hope to see you on a tour this Fall/Winter!

Please do not call the school, as tour reservations and inquiries are handled online via SFUSD. If you have any questions about tours at Alvarado, please feel free to contact our school PTA, president@alvaradoschool.net.
