Gardner Park Elementary is recognized across the community for its strong multi-language learning program, designed to support students who speak Spanish. All of our teachers are certified in multi-language instruction, and our program has become a model for other schools looking to create similar opportunities for their students.

Watch how our multi-language learning program is making a difference.

Providing care for students at school

Thanks to our partnership with Kintegra Health, we offer a telehealth clinic here at our school. Students, who are experiencing a minor illness or condition, can be seen by a medical provider virtually. This allows us to provide care for students without them having to leave school to go to the doctor.
