Our Staff

We have an incredibly dedicated faculty and staff to provide students a quality well-rounded program that is rooted in a rigorous curriculum and enriched with sports, music, theater, and visual arts. Our mission is to ensure the academic and personal success of each and every student. We encourage each child to aspire to his or her highest potential in a safe engaging environment.

In 2008 Colfax became the first affiliated charter in the San Fernando Valley. Although we are still a part of the Los Angeles Unified School District, we have flexibility in our instructional programs and budgets. Our instructional programs integrate core academics with Science, Technology, and the Arts. Our students have opportunities to participate in Student Government, 5th Grade Leadership, School Plays, Science Olympiad, Spelling & Geography Bees, Orchestra, and Competitive sports. Our teachers work closely with parents to tailor the instructional program for every student. Our intervention programs are closely monitor by students, teachers, parents and staff. They are offered to students before, during and after school. Programs such as ST Math, Raz-Kids, Typing Pals, Read Naturally, and Touch Math motivate students to monitor their own progress, set goals, and celebrate their achievements. 

Our Parent Teacher’s Association (PTA) and Parent Association of Colfax Elementary (PACE) organizations work to beautify the school, provide opportunities for volunteering, and raise funds to support our excellent programs.  Thanks to their efforts we have art and music programs, a farm, a science lab, a Wonder of Reading library, a track and field, playground equipment, support in the classrooms and our very own literacy garden.
