Our MissionTop of Page
At Costaño Elementary School, we develop our students’ knowledge, critical thinking, and problem solving skills. We encourage curiosity, creativity, empathy, and the journey of becoming a lifelong learner.
Costaño is proud to be a nationally recognized Turnaround Arts School that utilizes the arts as a vehicle to empower our students to create, to think critically, and to reach their unique individual potential. At Costaño, families can expect that the arts (music, visual arts, and drama) will be interwoven throughout children’s school day.
