About The Hamlin School

Welcome to The Hamlin School website, and thank you very much for taking the time to explore our magnificent school for girls. We have been on the same mission since 1896, when our courageous founder Sarah Dix Hamlin established a school where girls and young women would be “educated to meet the challenges of their time.” Indeed, the challenges we are seeing locally, nationally, and globally are numerous and immense, and our professional community and Board of Trustees remain steadfast in our collective commitment to ensure that Hamlin girls step forward as courageous leaders.

How they teach

Sarah Dix Hamlin’s pioneering spirit continues to infuse the school today as our girls are taught to voice their ideas, questions, and opinions and to use their critical and creative thinking skills to transform their communities. Frequent opportunities for leadership and public speaking, competitive athletics and physical education, annual excursions to San Francisco City Hall, Sacramento, and Washington D.C., service learning, outdoor adventures, and the teaching of ethical values are integral to our program and complement the rigorous study of literature, social studies, mathematics, science, Spanish, and the arts.
