Teachers, students, and parents are making Kagel School’s mantra a reality: Achieving Excellence Through Innovation!

Our 300 students pursue high academic standards in Spanish and English that prepare them for high school, college, career, and more. In our campus engineering laboratory and library, students grow as globally minded thinkers and problem solvers.

Bilingual educators plan engaging lessons in all subjects, integrating technology and traditional learning experiences into our Two-Way Dual Language Program: literature, song, homework, and field trips. Educators and families collaborate to support students’ academic, social, and emotional growth. Students can receive on-site, individualized special education and learning support to reach grade-level benchmarks in math, Spanish, and English literacy.

Learning is focused and fun at Kagel School. Art, music, and physical education classes are an outlet for creativity, helping students become confident artists and team builders. Students learn about making healthy choices for lifelong well-being. Our redeveloped schoolyard opens in fall 2025. Plans include an outdoor classroom, new athletic surfaces and play structures, gardens, and greenery. In this safe and serene space, students can develop their talents and abilities beyond the classroom—and grow herbs and vegetables.

No community is complete without caregivers. Kagel School welcomes parents as volunteers, members of our School Engagement Council, fans, and coaches of our Kagel Tigers.
