Capistrano Unified School District (CUSD)

Capistrano Unified is continually innovating and adding project based and hands-on learning to prepare our students from preschool through high school to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing world.

All 33 elementary schools offer “iCan” labs as an extension of the current middle and high school STEM career paths. Teachers deliver STEM themed core content lessons in math, science, social studies and English, infused with technology tools such as 3D printers, Cricut cutters, Marty the Robot and several additional tools. CUSD is one of the only districts statewide to have these labs to help elementary students to be college and career ready.

Through CUSD’s joint partnership with College and Career Advantage, middle schoolers continue to explore Career Technical Education pathways. High school students deepen pathway skills and knowledge leading to college credit and industry certifications in 31 career

pathways–– Robotics, 3D Printing and Fabrication, Coding, Engineering, Biotechnology, Fire Science, Actors Repertory, Aviation, Automotive Technology, and more.

CUSD places a strong emphasis on the integration of student well-being and emotional support, supportive and collaborative learning, and cultural diversity. School counselors and psychologists support social, emotional, behavior, and academics to ensure that every learner can be successful.
