Located near beautiful Como Park, we focus on developing lifelong learners and critical thinkers ready to face the challenges of the 21st century. With small classes and high expectations, we challenge students to meet and exceed our standards. Beginning with a first-rate Pre-K program and extending through sixth grade, teachers provide all students with a solid academic foundation and opportunities for higher-level challenges.
At Como Park Elementary:

  • Science and technology extend beyond classes and into community-based programs including the Dodge Nature Center, Bell Museum, Children’s Museum, Arboretum, Como Zoo and NASA’s Space Camp.
  • Art programs include museum experiences in the upper grades and skill development in the primary grades.
  • Enrichment activities include band, Math Masters, History Day, and the Como singers.
