Edgewater Elementary School is a wonderful Title I school in the Jefferson Area that serves more than 350 students from preschool through sixth grade in Jefferson County. We are a diverse school community that is culturally responsive and embraces restorative practices. Approximately 50% of our students are English Language Learners, with most of them participating in our Dual Language program. We offer 1-to-1 iPads K-2nd, and Chromebooks 3rd-6th. These devices provide opportunities for our students to create, problem-solve, collaborate, and communicate in all content areas.
Dual Language (DL) Program
We offer a 2-Way DL program in Kinder and 1st grade, and a One-Way DL program 2nd-6th grades. A One-Way program serves families whose native or dominant language is Spanish only. A Two-Way program includes families who are native or dominant English speakers in addition to native Spanish speakers. As we phase out our One-Way into a 2-Way, our goal is to have full implementation Preschool-6th grade by 2025.

PBL (Project-Based Learning)
PBL is a teaching method in which students gain knowledge and skills by working for an extended period of time to investigate and respond to an authentic, engaging, and complex question, problem, or challenge.
