Our Foundation’s Mission
The Foundation mission is to raise funds from which gifts and grants are made for the benefit of the students of San Juan Elementary School to facilitate a heightened learning experience which otherwise would not be possible.
More about San Juan Elementary
Two-Way Immersion Program - In September 2004, our school was selected to implement a Two-Way Language Immersion program. Beginning in Kindergarten, native Spanish-speaking and native English-speaking students study together to become bilingual and biliterate. This program offers our students the priceless gift of fluency and literacy in two languages: English AND Spanish.
Title 1 School – Our school is located across from the San Juan Capistrano Historic Mission and is made up of a diverse group of children from San Juan Capistrano and surrounding cities. Over 64% of the families at our school currently qualify as low income. Title 1 schools must fundraise. Since every student must be granted equal opportunity to attend school field trips, Title 1 schools must fundraise.
The San Juan Children’s Education Foundation (SJCEF) has a yearly fundraising goal of $100,000 to help make sure every student has the opportunity to achieve academic success!
