One of four schools in the Coronado Unified School District, Silver Strand Elementary is located three miles south of the city of Coronado on a narrow peninsula between the Pacific Ocean and San Diego Bay. Our student population draws from several unique and diverse populations. Approximately 64% of our students reside in Navy housing that surrounds our school and 36% include students from our neighboring resort community, "The Cays", and intradistrict and interdistrict transfer students.

Due to the passage of a local general obligation bond, our school completed a $5 million renovation that included new construction and modernization five years ago. Just this summer our school received new computers in our media lab and in several classrooms. Our library is filled with enticing books and up-to-date reference materials. Every classroom is actively supported by parent and community volunteers to enhance student learning. The “Everyone A Reader” program draws community volunteers from across Coronado. It is truly evident that parents and volunteers are not only welcomed, but embraced as educational partners and seen as invaluable resources to the children of Silver Strand Elementary School.

Our school logo epitomizes our goals. The Silver Strand Voyagers are on a journey to become responsible and respectful life-long learners. Woven into our strong academic program is a character education program with specific monthly social skills that are reinforced school-wide and reinforced with “You Earned It” tickets. Social Skills such as Self-Discipline, Respect and Responsibility form the basis of our core values, the voyager way. We also have an attendance incentive program to encourage all our students to be here every day!
