The Alliance of Mission District Catholic Schools creates a unique collaborative partnership that continues the 150 year tradition of educational excellence in the Archdiocese of San Francisco. The AMDCS educates elementary school students from the rich and diverse cultures of the Mission District. The Alliance welcomes Catholic students and students from a variety of faith traditions.

The Alliance of Mission District Catholic Schools collaborates with pastors, parents, faculty, stakeholders, and the wider community to offer a Catholic elementary school education which responds to the changing spiritual, intellectual, social, artistic, emotional, and physical needs of students — now, and for generations to come.

The Alliance of Mission District Catholic Schools is truly a collaborative partnership, where schools are able to identify with the system while maintaining their unique individual identities. School enrollments have stabilized or increased and an endowment for tuition assistance is in place so no student is turned away due to lack of finances. School programs have been enhanced and test scores are rising. A fully staffed AMDCS office markets and promotes the Alliance, boasts successful development efforts as well as coordinated financial planning. Necessary improvements have been made to school facilities and a master plan for continued improvements is in place.
