Innovative Learning

Each month, our Spotlight on Excellence highlights a unique aspect of what makes San Carlos schools exceptional.

On September 10, we proudly shared highlights of HCT’s impact on students and introduced a tutor-student pair, who shared their personal experiences with the program. This year also marks the 30th Anniversary of HCT!

Did you know San Carlos School District offers preschool programs for 2 and 3 year olds? We also have several options so families can choose the program that best fits their needs. We have early learning/preschool classes on all of our elementary campuses — Arundel, Brittan Acres, Heather & White Oaks. It’s a wonderful way to get to know your incoming school community and start building friendships early!

State-funded preschool spots are available now at Arundel, FREE for eligible families. Your family may qualify for our free, state-funded preschool program, and we can help determine eligibility. For example, a family of four earning up to $127,338 per year may qualify.
