Hello! 

Welcome to Nativity, a new Catholic high school in San Francisco. Nativity offers students a high school experience that is intimate, faith-filled, classical, and affordable. 

We invite you to read our Mission Statement, learn about our scholarship opportunities,  and consider the case for the camel.  Please reach out to schedule a campus visit, RSVP for an open house date or sign up for Dromedary Day to experience a day at Nativity. 

If you have any questions, please call or text us at (415) 322-9229 or send a note to hello@nativityhs.org.

If you are interested in joining our passionate, enthusiastic team as an educator or administrator, we invite you to review our faculty page for open job opportunities.

If you would like to support us and get a sense of our culture we suggest you join us for our first community event: Camelcade 2024, featuring Fr. Mike Schmitz.

Merit Scholarship Opportunities

Generous donors have contributed to a scholarship fund to make a
Nativity education accessible to families in the Bay Area. We have two scholarship opportunities, in addition to financial aid, for incoming students in 2025.

Magi Award: $10,000

Eight incoming students will receive a Magi Award of $10,000. The Magi Award recognizes students for making a positive impact in their school or community through living their faith. The scholarship is awarded over four years.

Nativity Award: Full Tuition

Two incoming students will receive the Nativity Award, which is a four-year, full-tuition scholarship. The Nativity Award is in recognition of excellence in academics, commitment to faith, and a score in the top quintile on the HSPT.
