Edgewood Community School

Edgewood Community School describes a trauma-informed, therapeutic approach that combines individualized instruction with embedded mental health and behavioral supports throughout the school day. Teaching is tailored to each student’s learning profile, aligned with California State/Common Core Standards and IEP goals, and designed to help students accelerate academic growth while building coping skills and readiness to transition to a less restrictive setting or graduate.

Edgewood Community School is a non-public high school in San Francisco serving students ages 14–22 whose emotional or behavioral health needs cannot be met in traditional public school settings. (edgewood.org) Admissions are handled as referrals rather than a standard direct-apply process: placement must be authorized through the student’s IEP and coordinated with the student’s home school district/IEP team. (edgewood.org) Publicly listed fit/requirements include significant emotional or behavioral challenges, difficulty succeeding in public school despite accommodations or lower-level interventions, and an IEP authorizing non-public school placement; Edgewood says the program is best suited for adolescents and transition-age youth needing a therapeutic school environment. (edgewood.org) For next steps, the school lists Referrals & Admissions contact options at 415.682.3172 plus an admissions email and online contact form for intake materials or placement consultation. (edgewood.org) I did not find any publicly posted admissions calendar/key dates, waitlist policy, or priority categories on the Edgewood Community School pages reviewed, so those items do not appear to be disclosed online.
