Kensington Parkwood Elementary School

Thanks to the efforts of incredible parent volunteers and top-notch school leadership, KP offers many of the benefits found in a private school. Best of all, my son is safe and secure while receiving a top rate education. Here are a few of the 'extras' provided by KP. (1) Students get weekly Italian lessons from a full-time teacher provided by the Italian Embassy. (2) The arts integration program with the Kennedy Center provides the school a full time art instructor shared by the grades. (3) Students study a variety of artists, and create art using different mediums - from wire sculptures to mosaics. (4) Third graders write, direct and produce their own opera. (5) Fourth graders write folk stories, and perform them on puppets made under the supervision of a professional puppet company. Add to this a kind, enthusiastic and cohesive staff. What more could a parent or child want?

Wonderful school! Involved and smart teachers, small student body for our district, Arts Integration program incredible. Curriculum the standard district mess but KP does somehow manage to make it work really well.

My granddaughter is a 2nd year (4th grade) student at KP. She attended Scripps Ranch area school in San Diego before...KP has an excellent academic program and especially extracurriculum programs (foreign language) music, etc. She loves the school and has done very well.

Wonderful School! Principal and parents are very involved. Curriculum is challenging and my child loves all the extra art and music that comes from the Arts Integration program. Also the school provides wonderful after school programs and clubs. A+
