Welcome to Five Keys Charter School!

Five Keys is proud to operate a successful, comprehensive high school for adults inside the San Francisco County jails - the first of its kind in the nation. Since we opened our doors in 2003, Five Keys has been an innovator in providing the educational opportunities offenders need to turn their lives around--giving hope to many as incarceration rates in California and around the country skyrocket. We offer traditionally underserved students the opportunity to restart their education, earn a high school diploma and pursue goals of post-secondary education, employment and positive re-entry into the community.

The staff is pleased to announce that in 2008, Five Keys applied for and received two new charters from the San Francisco Unified School District. Five Keys is now reaching a larger percentage of the incarcerated population as well as expanding post-release education options by partnering with respected community-based organizations such as Walden House, Goodwill, Haight-Ashbury Free Clinics, Glide, and others.
