With a student body of 420, El Verano provides the best possible educational foundation for all students.

Literacy is a top priority, as nothing is more important than learning to read. With this in mind, the school provides an academically challenging program in a warm, caring atmosphere where children are expected to give their personal best.

El Verano, a culturally diverse school, reaps the rewards of having an actively participating neighborhood community. The school prides itself on the individual attention given to each student and family. Children are encouraged to express their individuality and practice school-wide lifeskills while meeting the academic challenges set forth by their teachers.

Both enrichment and support classes are offered to students before, during, and after school. The entire El Verano Staff knows that ALL children will learn if given the tools and knowledge needed to be successful students. We offer several innovative programs that encourage critical thinking and inquiry skills. These programs are world renowned. We have a partnership with the Exploratorium Museum in San Francisco. We also work closely with Visual Thinking Strategies, an art inquiry program created by a scholar from Harvard University and a museum educator for the Museum of Modern Art in New York.  El Verano looks to our incredible community to help support its programs.
