Extra Effort,

Extra Fun.

  • Sports

    We offer a wide variety of sports at our schools. Athletics are a great way for students to learn both teamwork and discipline. Games and competitions bring the community together so everyone can show their school spirit! 

  • Arts

    Art, music, theater, and dance are all big parts of why students love going to school. Whole-child education includes finding ways to help students express their creativity and develop their talents. 

  • Foreign Language Study

    Learning a second language helps students appreciate other cultures and see the world from a new point of view.

  • STEAM/Paxton Patterson lab

    Hands-on learning in Science, Tech, Engineering, Arts, and Math inspires inquiry and curiosity. Our teachers encourage students to ask thought-provoking questions that promote creativity and exploration as they connect their problem-solving to real-world solutions. 

  • Gardening

    Connecting with nature is a natural mood booster. Through gardening, children can learn about science, biology, and sustainability, all while developing important life skills. 

  • MakerSpace

    Makerspaces provide an opportunity for hands-on, personalized projects that develop STEM skills and entrepreneurial capacities. These skill sets are invaluable in the global, tech-driven job market our children will step into after graduation.


  • Project Lead The Way

    As PLTW schools, we engage students in hands-on activities, projects, and problems that empower them to solve real-world challenges. Computer science, engineering, and biomedical science inspire learners to reimagine how they see themselves in college and career pathways.

  • CA Cadet Corps

    The California Cadet Corps has been developing leaders since 1911. The program's objectives are to develop leadership, citizenship, and patriotism, promote academic excellence, encourage personal health and wellness, and teach basic military subjects.



  • AVID Program

    Many students have a desire to go to college and the willingness to work hard but do not truly have the opportunity to be college-ready. These are often the students who will be the first in their families to attend college. By teaching and reinforcing academic behaviors and higher-level thinking from elementary school, teachers help students develop the academic habits they will need to be successful in middle school, high school, and college in an age-appropriate and challenging way. Children learn about organization, study skills, communication, and self-advocacy to prepare for college and careers.
