History
On September 2, 2014 Elevate launched as a K-5 public charter school at the Joan Kroc Center on University Ave. In December 2014 we relocated to our Serra Mesa campus on Murray Ridge Rd. On August 28, 2017 we opened our second campus in Tierrasanta. In 2018 Elevate was named as a California Distinguished School. We were 1 of 33 schools in San Diego County to receive this special honor and we are just beaming with excitement! In the fall of 2020 we opened our third campus with Grade 6, also located in Serra Mesa, for middle school. Grade 7 opens in Fall 2021, with Grade 8 following in Fall 2022.
