What Makes Chisholm Special?

At Shirley Chisholm Elementary, we believe that every child deserves to be known, valued, challenged, and celebrated. We are a community where students learn through language, the arts, relationships, and meaningful experiences that help them discover their voice and their power to make a difference.

🇪🇸 BILINGUAL

Two Languages. Twice the Possibilities.

Our bilingual program develops students' ability to communicate, learn, and build relationships across languages and cultures. We celebrate bilingualism and biliteracy as strengths that prepare our students to thrive in an increasingly connected world.

🎨 ARTS INTEGRATION

Imagine. Create. Express.

The arts are an essential part of the Chisholm experience. Through visual arts, music, movement, theater, and creative expression, students have opportunities to explore ideas, take risks, solve problems, and see themselves as creators.

❤️ HUMAN-CENTERED

Relationships Come First.

We know that students learn best when they feel safe, seen, and connected. We prioritize relationships, belonging, social-emotional learning, wellness, and the whole child. At Chisholm, we take the time to know our students and celebrate who they are.

🌱 CHAMPIONS FOR CHANGE

Learn. Lead. Love. Leave a Legacy.

We believe every student has the ability to make a difference. Our Champions for Change approach empowers students to take ownership of their learning, lead with courage and compassion, advocate for themselves and others, and contribute positively to their community.
