Explorer Elementary School

K–12 Schools

About

Explorer Elementary School in Point Loma's Liberty Station, authorized under San Diego Unified's charter portfolio, delivers K-5 project-based learning from the former Naval Training Center at 2230 Truxtun Road. The K-5 program now operates inside the High Tech High charter network and feeds into schools such as High Tech High International for high-school placement, letting families track a continuous project-based curriculum from kindergarten through twelfth grade across the Liberty Station arts district. Admission runs on a zip-code-weighted lottery designed to pull a demographically representative sample of San Diego County into the 365-student campus, rather than drawing from the traditional Point Loma neighborhood boundaries that serve nearby Cabrillo or Loma Portal. Integrated curriculum pairs academic content with ongoing student exhibitions, maker projects, and gallery displays that complement neighborhood studio instruction from places like Monart School of Art for families extending creative work beyond the school day. The Liberty Station campus occupies roughly one-third of a rehabilitated 100,000-square-foot building completed through a $7M Gafcon-managed expansion, with the remaining footprint leased to commercial tenants whose rent offsets capital costs, an adaptive-reuse financing model unusual among Point Loma San Diego K-5 charters.
