The afternoon program is run by the Lead Afternoon Teacher, the Assistant Afternoon Teacher, and overseen by the Director. Teaching at NVNS is a collaborative experience, where our educators draw on one another’s strengths to create an environment for students that is both nurturing and safe, but also filled with opportunities for growth, adventure, and self-determination.
NVNS is located in the Christopher Playground Clubhouse in San Francisco, adjacent to Glen Canyon and a community garden.
