Welcome to CVESD!
Students in the Chula Vista Elementary School District experience a rigorous 21st Century learning environment with high-quality instruction, a technology-based curriculum, innovative programming, and strong visual and performing arts.
For 130 years, the District has aimed to provide an excellent education at our safe, modernized, award-winning facilities. Our mission is to nurture every student's imagination, intellect, and sense of inquiry. Student success is essential in the District, and teachers and staff work together with parents, guardians, and other family members to help kids realize their potential and reach their goals.
Working collaboratively with stakeholders, we tap a collective intelligence rich with the spirit and creativity necessary for students to become difference makers in our community. Students have opportunities to challenge themselves on new levels through all the available programs.
The thoughtful, strategic resource alignment to meet student needs, particularly target populations such as foster youth, students from low-income families, and special education students, continues to produce positive results in student performance. In 2018, CVESD was selected by the California Department of Education as San Diego County’s inaugural awardee of the “California Exemplary Districts” honor. The District was chosen because of its high academic growth and performance, as well as proven practices to achieve increased student and community engagement.
