About

The goal of Elkhorn School is to nurture the intellectual, physical, and emotional capabilities of each student.

Our school community encourages independent thinkers who positively promote the value and dignity of all our members. As intellectual learners, students are challenged, appreciated, and asked to strive for excellence.

Lifelong learning and developing an integrated view of the world is modeled and valued. Problem solving, common sense, and leadership are embedded in the context of learning.

As physical and emotional learners, Elkhorn students safely participate in cooperative activities, work in teams, as w ell as respect and celebrate individual differences and diversity among others. As contributors to our school community, Elkhorn students are expected to demonstrate respect of others. Also, students are guided to take responsibility in their intellectual and social growth.

The Elkhorn School community believes that acquiring these skills will prepare students for a positive future. Elkhorn is a California Distinguished School and a National Blue Ribbon School due to our high academics and behavior. A 2021 U.S. News and World Report article named Elkhorn School as the 5th best K-8 school in California. These are distinctions we hold due to our rigor and dedication to meeting the needs of our student scholars.
