Students accept responsibility for their learning through development of organizational skills, collaboration with peers, and participation in strategies to acquire deeper knowledge and understanding. The focus of learning is our AVID program and the college-going culture at our school. Trained teachers incorporate specific AVID strategies into their curriculum to support all students with exemplary standards-based instruction.
Families support the school and participate in numerous activities. Partnerships include Naval Medical Center Balboa, other military supports and organizations such as Fleet and Family Services, Healthy Start, and Space and Naval Warfare (SPAWAR) as well as AXA Financial Advisors.
We're not just about work at Farb. We also have wonderful activities and an excellent free after-hours childcare program called PrimeTime. And we have some famous graduates, including world-renowned skateboarding champion and businessman Tony Hawk. In addition to his many accomplishments and awards, he was the star of an ESPN sports cable network special program entitled, "Homecoming," which was filmed at Farb!
