Basic Schools

Phoebe Hearst and Camellia elementary schools are Basic Schools that emphasize the development of academic skills and good study habits. 

Instruction emphasizes mastery of reading, writing, and mathematics through clear routines, high expectations, and the development of strong study habits, responsibility, and positive citizenship. 

Parental support at home contributes to children’s success in these rigorous programs. A collaborative relationship between parents and teachers creates ideal conditions for student learning and high levels of achievement.

Enrollment in a Basic School

Basic Schools focus on strong academic skills and good study habits. Students must apply for these schools through the district's Open Enrollment process or through a district permit.
