HIGH TECH ELEMENTARY

STUDENT WORK IS ALWAYS CREATED FOR AN AUDIENCE.

Common Areas

Common areas at the High Tech Chula Vista Village or El Pueblo allow for cross-grade level collaboration and shared Exhibition spaces. Some of these areas include our school garden, butterfly garden, and open green field.

SHARED COMMON SPACE AT "EL PUEBLO"

Classroom physical space varies throughout the campus. Some classrooms maintain a traditional appearance of round tables and assigned seats for students. Other classrooms are more free flowing classrooms where there is a mixture of tables, variety of chairs, open spaces for students to collaborate in. Each teacher is given the freedom to create the classroom environment he or she wishes that fits their teaching philosophies.

CLASSROOM PHYSICAL SPACE

HTe’s building design supports our young students as they learn and grow. Classroom walls are moveable, so groups of students can work in small groups or large groups; most windows and doors are transparent encouraging students (and adults) to see what others are working on, sparking new ideas. Student work is always created for an audience, and that work is often displayed for that audience throughout the building. Studio space has been created for classes in Performance Arts, Elementary Engineering/Design and Fine Arts. All classroom furniture is specifically selected to meet the needs of our children as their bodies grow and develop physically. The floor plan was intentionally designed for teams of three teachers at each grade level, who plan collaboratively on projects. Shared spaces throughout the building allow for older students to mentor younger students in a variety of structured activities.
