Testimonial
"A remarkable school! A gem in the SFUSD system. Extremely low teacher turnover in the 12 years our family has attended. Extremely low student turnover as well. The school has very high standards for its students, most of whom say high school and college were easy by comparison. The school has a warm, community feeling. After 12 years and 2 kids attending, we will certainly miss AFY! Grateful to have had the opportunity to attend and the opportunity for our kids to learn 2 languages, Cantonese and Mandarin."
