    Mission Dolores Academy is a richly diverse, independent, Kindergarten through Eighth Grade school located in the Mission District of San Francisco. We are a community deeply rooted in the values of the Catholic faith.
We rely on the generosity of those in our community to fulfill our mission to educate as many under-resourced children as possible, regardless of their families' means, and to graduate students who are confident, lifelong learners, prepared to succeed in our global world.

Mission Dolores Academy offers innovative curriculum extensions, a rigorous academic program, and comprehensive wellness services to target the needs of our student population. Initiatives such as our Literacy Program help set an MDA education apart from all the rest. In addition, tuition assistance is available to qualifying families to ensure that our educational opportunities remain accessible to all students.

In partnership with a dedicated community of supporters, MDA empowers students to become the academically prepared, life-long learners they seek to be. 

As a measure of the school's progress, in 2023, 88 percent of our graduating class were accepted to top Catholic and independent high schools, including: Archbishop Riordan High School, The Bay School, Convent of the Sacred Heart High School, Immaculate Conception Academy, Junipero Serra High School, Lick-Wilmerding High School, Notre Dame High School Belmont, Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory, San Francisco University High School, and St. Ignatius College Preparatory.

Our Mission

"Mission Dolores Academy is a special place. It's not only a school, but a place where a child can find comfort, a passion for learning and a strong spiritual self. To help facilitate any child's journey on their path to greatness is why I support MDA."
