History

Founded initially in 1908 as a single-student "coaching school" by Bay Area educator John Sheehan Drew, the school moved to its present location at California St. and Broderick St. in 1911. It underwent a complete renovation in 2001, designed by Perkins + Will; while also adding a attached assembly wing known as the Cuddeback Wing, after Samuel Cuddeback III, who was head of school. The Cuddeback Wing was designed in 2011, and features a noted living wall designed by Patrick Blanc.
Drew School is accredited by the National Association of Independent Schools, the California Association of Independent Schools and the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.

In late 2019, a junior told ABC7 News about several incidents involving racism over the years toward her. One incident was a game where someone would whisper the N-word and as it got louder, if the person bailed out, than they lost the game. After a couple more racial incidents toward the girl, the school held an assembly explaining the issue, but she said that this had “no impact”. The girl was supposed to speak to the student body at the assembly, but at the last moment, the school told her that she was not allowed to speak.
