Homestead Elementary provides a complete K-5 educational program in a neighborhood school setting.  We believe in educating students for success in life with a focus on academic achievement, personal responsibility and social-emotional learning.  In addition to regular education classroom teachers, the instructional staff includes a music teacher, physical education teachers, an art teacher, a health teacher, a librarian, special education resource teachers and a nurse.  Support staff inclues kindergarten and special education teaching assistants.

Homestead offers students an instructional program based on the adopted curriculum of the Anchorage Scool District.  Emphasis is placed on developing the whole child using the Common Core State Standards.  We are dedicated to providing a learning environment in which students achieve academically, develop self-discipline, utilize problem-solving abilities, and exercise good interpersonal skills.  Our goal is to partner with our families and to help students become active participants in the learning process.  At Homestead, we "run with the best" and reach for the stars.
