International High School of San Francisco
International High School of San Francisco

International High School of San Francisco (familiarly known as International or IHS) is a private high school in Hayes Valley, San Francisco, California. Graduates earn either the International Baccalaureate ("IB") or the French Baccalaureate ("French Bac"). The IB curriculum is taught in English, while the French Bac is taught in French. A common misconception is that French is required to attend IHS. This is not true. Non-French speakers follow the IB curriculum. Approximately two-thirds to three-quarters of the students graduate with the IB diploma. (The IB is an internationally recognized degree program, with the fastest growth coming in the United States. Stuart Hall/Convent in San Francisco and Berkeley High School are two schools in the Bay Area that also offer the IB diploma.) IB and French Bac graduates earn substantial college credit from pursuing these programs. Many graduates attend respected universities. At IHS, for example, 61 out of 239 graduates (37%) in the last three graduating classes (2015–17) matriculated at University of Chicago (10), UC Berkeley (9), NYU (8), Carnegie Mellon (7), Stanford (6), UCLA (6), King's College London (5), St. Andrews (4), Harvard (3), Columbia (3), Cornell (3), Washington University (3), Johns Hopkins (3), Georgetown (3), MIT (2), Brown (2), Williams (2), Penn (2), University College London (2), Carleton (2), Davidson, Emory, London School of Economics, and Wellesley.The IHS faculty is recruited from all over the world and represents over 20 nationalities. The average number of years of teaching experience is just under 20, and more than 80% of the faculty hold master's degrees or higher.

San Francisco Law School

San Francisco Law School is a private, for-profit law school in San Francisco, California. Founded in 1909, it is the oldest evening law school in the Western United States. The school became non-profit in 1941 and moved to Haight Street in 1968, where it would remain for almost 50 years before relocating to its present campus on Beach Street, near Fisherman's Wharf. The law school offers a four-year, part-time evening program leading to a Juris Doctor degree. In July 2010, the law school completed a merger to become a for-profit, graduate school of Alliant International University. San Francisco Law School has been accredited by the Committee of Bar Examiners of the State Bar of California since 1937, but is not accredited by the American Bar Association. As a result, SFLS graduates are generally required to pass the California bar exam before they can take the bar exam or practice in states outside of California. San Francisco Law School is also regionally accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. SFLS has a five year cumulative bar pass rate of 36%, below the 40% threshold established by the State Bar of California. As a result, the school has been placed on probation until July 1, 2022. Failure to raise its cumulative pass rate to 40% by that point could result in the termination of the school's accreditation.In 2014, San Diego Law School opened as a branch campus of San Francisco Law School and is located in the Walter Library on Alliant's campus in San Diego at Scripps Ranch. San Diego Law School offers a four-year part-time evening program and is also accredited by the Committee of Bar Examiners of the State of California.
