Kearny Elementary takes us into the heart of Santa Fe. Named after Stephen W. Kearny - General, innovator, “Father of the U.S. Calvary,” former Governor of the New Mexico Territory (where he established the “Kearny Code” the legal and civic framework for the territory), but most importantly, he was an avid explorer of the western United States. This became his passion as he found safe passage for settlers across Arizona, New Mexico, California, Missouri, Oregon, and other untamed parts of the west. It is in his striving for new horizons, helping others, and problem solving where we find his correlation to the elementary school that bears his name.
Kearny Elementary offers a plethora of programs to students that both challenge and support their diverse needs with a range of small group and cooperative learning opportunities to provide targeted support and enrichment to students based on individual needs. Utilizing research-based curricula in both math and language arts, a writer’s workshop model to support written language development and an inquiry based curriculum in physical and earth science through the Los Alamos National Labs science kit program. Kearny students participate in music, art, physical education and computer science each week plus they offer all-day PreK for students across the city via District placement and lottery.
Community Programs to help support students’ social-emotional and academic needs include:
The Heritage Language Model that honors the linguistic assets of multilingual students, highlights transferability between Spanish and English and still provides basic maintenance of the home language while preparing the student for English language arts
Site-based counseling for students with counselors from Presbyterian Medical Services
Collaborations with local churches to provide needed resources for families
Partnership with Food Depot to provide food assistance for families
Cooking with Kids, which educates and empowers children and families to make healthy food choices through hands-on learning with fresh, affordable foods.
After-school activities include the 21st Century Community Learning Center after-school enrichment program as well as an after-school homework/child care program. We also offer girls and boys basketball, cheerleading, Chess Club, book clubs and other enrichment opportunities.
Kearny was recently honored to become a recipient of the Public Education Department’s Community Schools grant to implement the Community Schools Act of 2019. We look forward to implementing this fully in the 2022-23 school year!
The Board of Education is looking for your input on the redistricting of school board member boundaries! This is NOT the rezoning of schools, the change is only to the boundaries of school board members.
