HARRIET TUBMAN VILLAGE CHARTER

Harriet Tubman Village Charter is a Title I public charter elementary school that is part of the San Diego Unified school district, located in San Diego, CA with about 385 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 16 teachers, Harriet Tubman Village Charter has a student/teacher ratio of about 24:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Harriet Tubman Village Charter School, located in the San Diego neighborhood of Rolando, serves students from transitional kindergarten through eighth grade. As a public charter school, it emphasizes a "whole-child" approach to education, aiming to foster academic excellence while simultaneously nurturing the social and emotional development of its students. The school is known for its close-knit, community-oriented atmosphere and its commitment to the legacy of Harriet Tubman, integrating themes of freedom, leadership, and perseverance into its educational philosophy.

Academically, the school focuses on a rigorous, standards-based curriculum that prepares students for high school and beyond. Beyond core academics, Tubman Charter places a significant emphasis on arts, character development, and student agency, encouraging pupils to take an active role in their learning journey. By maintaining smaller class sizes and fostering strong partnerships between families and faculty, the school strives to create a supportive environment where diverse learners are empowered to succeed both in the classroom and as active members of their local community.
