Background
Immaculate Conception Academy was established in 1883 by the Dominican Sisters. It is an all-girls school in the Dominican tradition sponsored by the Sisters of Mission San Jose. The school is located in the heart of San Francisco. Immaculate Conception became the first all-girls school in the Cristo Rey Network on August 31, 2009. Since then tuition cost for parents has dropped to about one-third of what it was, with employers paying about $30,000 a year to the school for one entry-level job. The work is performed by four students at each job site, one student from each of the four years. Each year has a day off to work one day a week and an additional day once a month. Since Immaculate Conception is now a Cristo Rey School, it accepts only students who meet the low-family-income criteria. In 2017-2018 the school had 30 sponsors and about 100 work-study partners.
Campus ministry offers service opportunities for the students and each year time off from school for a retreat experience.
Athletics supported by the school include volleyball, basketball, cross-country, soccer, golf, swimming, track & field, and flag football. The school is a member of the San Francisco section of the Catholic Athletic Conference.
