Our Computer Science and Innovation program provides all students access to a comprehensive coding and robotics pathway. Pacific Drive is a 1:1 iPad school in Transitional Kindergarten through 5th grade along with a 1:1 take home laptop program for 6th graders. A device is assigned to each student and students are able to use their device while at school and at home. Through project based learning opportunities, students consider solutions to problems within their local and world communities. School wide Computer Science Pathway integration provides students with 21st century skills, content knowledge, and visual literacy needed to be college and career ready.
Our dual language Spanish immersion program is in its fourth year. Currently, grades in Transitional Kindergarten (TK) through 3rd grade are active, while the subsequent years will result in growth of one additional grade level per year, through the 6th grade. This program provides students with the opportunity to learn academic content while acquiring the ability to speak, read, write, and listen in another language. The ultimate goal of this program is for students is bilingualism, biliteracy, and biculturalism. We are proud to continue to grow our program.
