Drew School (formerly Drew College Preparatory School) is an independent, coeducational, college-preparatory high school located in San Francisco, California, United States. The school was founded and named in 1908 by John Sheehan Drew^[3] and today serves grades 9-12.

History

Founded initially in 1908 as a single-student "coaching school" by Bay Area educator John Sheehan Drew, the school moved to its present location at California St. and Broderick St. in 1911 and became a non-profit institution with an independent board of trustees in 1973. It underwent a complete renovation in 2001, designed by Perkins + Will;^[4] while also adding a 45,000 square-feet, attached assembly wing in 2011, designed by Patrick Blanc.^[5]

Drew is accredited by the National Association of Independent Schools,^[6] the California Association of Independent Schools^[7] and the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.^[8]
