Description:

Rooftop is a K-8 public, alternative elementary school located in the center of San Francisco on two sites on the eastern slope of Twin Peaks. Our student population reflects the City’s diverse ethnic background. Programs in art, music, and drama are considered an integral part of the Rooftop experience. The Archive/Opera class at Rooftop's Studio at Mayeda gives students the opportunity create both the “archives” (from Greek ta arkheia public records, and the “opera,” (the work). As we explore the school’s history, we make decisions about what we would like to archive and come together to create new works of art in the process.
