About the School

Children, families, and educators come together to create an inclusive community that provides authentic experiences and engages the whole child. Our aim is to cultivate critical thinkers and develop a generation of confident, curious, and compassionate members of society. Van Ness Elementary School reopened in Fall 2015. Since then, amazing things have happened. Our school building and grounds have been transformed into an engaging and beautiful place for our children to learn and thrive. The newest improvement, completed Fall 2021, is a brand new wing complete with a roof top educational garden, renovation of a historic field house that is now flexible space for our school, and an annex building that will house our fifth graders. Van Ness Elementary now serves Pre-K3 through 5th grade. We hope you join our excitement for Van Ness. Go Otters!
