This article features the Sanchez Elementary School located in the Mission District in San Francisco, California. Every child at Sanchez School has the opportunity to develop a healthy identity fostering social, emotional, physical, and intellectual competencies. Children's identity and associated competencies are explored in a variety of learning environments: the classroom, the community garden, the art, dance and drama studios, the technology studio, the community dining room, and the playground. Basing their work on a core system of values, the staff gives great attention and intention to making these values visible, audible, and tangible throughout the school, from the way children's work is displayed to the way adults interact with children and with each other.
