About Our School


	Grant Elementary is located in the historic San Diego neighborhood of Mission Hills.

Welcome to Ulysses S. Grant Math/Science Magnet School. For nearly 100 years, we have been located in the beautiful and historic San Diego neighborhood of Mission Hills. Our school's magnet focus is supported by math and science labs staffed by certificated teachers. We have an active group of parents who volunteer in classrooms, publish the monthly Grant Slant newsletter, arrange visual and performing arts programs during school, and coordinate the Thursday Kids Club, which provides enrichment classes for our students after school.

Vision Statement

We believe that the school and community together should commit their energies to developing an equitable and interdisciplinary environment which empowers students to become better thinkers in our global society. It would be our vision that this process would embrace an enthusiasm for the development of respect, self-esteem and the unique qualities necessary for students and staff to succeed.

Ulysses S. Grant Math/Science Elementary Magnet School is dedicated to becoming a leader in educational technology as a tool to maintain high curriculum standards. We are committed to our teacher/student learning process in our school by training teachers, acquiring various instructional technologies, and assisting students as they expand their base of knowledge.

Opportunities for Parent Involvement

Grant’s parents volunteer as readers, tutors, or chaperones at school events. They belong to various committees including the governance team and the Grant Community Foundation. The Parent/Teacher Association (PTA) sponsors a Thursday Kids Club enrichment program for Grant students in grades 1–5. Parents publish a monthly Grant Slant newsletter and work with Grant’s Gecko Garden.

The Parent Congress is composed of a parent delegate from each school and is designed to provide information about student achievement, gather input from parents, and consult with them about educational issues. It meets four times a year.

Community Involvement

We at Grant are committed to obtaining community resources for our school and invite all constituencies to assist us in the education of our students. We have established community partnerships that support our school by assisting with extracurricular school activities and projects.

Our school gratefully acknowledges the tremendous support we receive from our partners, parents, and community volunteers.

Part of our commitment to serve the Grant School community is embodied in our monthly newsletter, the Grant Slant. We have an archive of Grant Slants available by clicking on this link => Grant Slant
