Old Adobe Elementary Charter School

Excellent. My two children have gone there since kindergarten and we have received support the whole time.

Old adobe has felt like an extension to our family. The kids really like their teachers and have made lifelong friends.

There is a warmth at Old Adobe that is unique and unlike other school campuses that I visit regularly for my job. I would not send my child anywhere else. A sweet, sweet school with fantastic people.

Old Adobe Charter is a welcoming community. Every child, teacher, parent, and staff member feel a part of this community; every staff member knows the name of every child. Our family has two boys attending O.A. and we have been part of the community for four years. While I may not be an active PTO parent and my volunteer time is more limited than I like, I am given ample opportunity that fits into my work schedule to be a part of my kid's school experience, and I feel welcomed when I am on campus. A big focus of Old Adobe's staff is for everyone to be READING, READING, and READING some more. I have even checked out books from the school's library. My 8 year old son is very social, very into video games, and always has a book on hand for pleasure reading. Reading for enjoyment is a powerful hobby. At Old Adobe, Earth Science is a hands on experience from tending the organic garden to hosting local astronomers who bring their telescopes onto campus to share with the kids and parents (and the PTO served hot chocolate). Finally, O.A. recognizes a child's natural love of the Arts, from acting on stage to Zumba class in the cafeteria, from creative writing to painting, children are given a chance to find an art form that they feel they can express who they are. We are pleased we became a part of Old Adobe's community.
