Our school is located in Reseda, and has evolved into a multiethnic, multicultural school since it was built in 1956. We are proud of our strong parent/teacher/staff partnership that supports all students and reflects our motto: Where Learning and the Arts Are Celebrated.

Our Mission

Cantara Street Elementary /VAPA Magnet in partnership with its families and community is committed to providing all students with rigorous academic program that empowers them to be productive citizens. Cantara Street Elementary/VAPA Magnet is dedicated to continuing development of a learning community characterized by a commitment to the following principles: All children can learn and have a right to a quality education. A quality education means high expectations for all students in a curriculum aligned with state standards and rich in content, problem solving, and critical thinking skills. A quality education means a positive environment of trust, caring, and respect for all people. A quality education for all students requires continuous development of professional skills based on current research and sharing of professional knowledge among faculty, staff, parents, and other community members. A quality education celebrates diversity as students develop respect for their own culture, as well as for many cultures with which they have the privilege to interact.
