ABOUT OUR SCHOOL
ACADEMIC PROGRAMS
Shwab Elementary is a neighborhood school where teachers are dedicated to
ensuring all students become life-long learners and leaders. They help students
prepare for success in middle school and beyond by developing problem
solving, critical thinking and collaboration skills. We strive to build a positive
school culture so that students love coming to school. For example, we provide
additional time for students to receive enrichment every Friday including
club time, personalized academic support, and engagement with community
partners. Our students develop strong social and emotional learning skills by
building relationships with teachers, expressing emotions in morning meetings,
and learning how to greet others. These interactions create a safe and consistent
learning environment where students feel confident to be themselves in the
classroom.
