Harriet Tubman Village Charter School serves transitional kindergarten through eighth grade from a San Diego Unified School District campus at 6880 Mohawk St in College Area, within the 92115 ZIP. The school operates as a free public charter under its own Harriet Tubman Village Charter District, enrolling approximately 445 students at a 24-to-1 student-teacher ratio across 19 equivalent full-time teaching positions and one full-time counselor. Curriculum follows the Leader in Me framework, a Stephen Covey-derived leadership model that integrates goal-setting, public speaking, and project management into the standard academic sequence — a structure designed to build habits of self-direction before students transition to high school at Patrick Henry High School or other secondary programs in the district. The campus sits less than a mile south of SDSU on a residential block between El Cajon Boulevard and University Avenue, drawing families from the College Area grid between 54th Street and 70th Street. Programming beyond the core academic day includes an Expanded Learning Opportunities Program that extends instructional time through after-school enrichment, and a Universal Transitional Kindergarten track that enrolls four-year-olds a full year ahead of standard kindergarten entry. Community partnerships have funded 83 classroom projects through DonorsChoose, backed by more than 200 individual donors from across California. The school's enrollment reflects the demographic makeup of the surrounding College Area residential blocks, and Title I designation supports supplemental reading and math intervention. After-school creative enrichment in the same neighborhood runs through programs at Little Artists on the east side of the College Area corridor. Administrator Laura Vivar oversees the campus, which has operated from the Mohawk Street site since 1980.
