Julien POD
1924 E. Canal Drive
(209) 667-0891If not accepted into the Julien POD Program, students must register at their designated home school attendance area.
The Pod at Julien Elementary School is a choice program for students in kindergarten through third grade which is based on three major ideas: the concept of an “extended family,” the worth of the individual child, and a specially-designed open setting. Each Pod teacher has a home group comprised of students from all four grade levels. These students remain with the same home group teacher for the four years they are in the program. Grade-level standards are taught with the grade-level teachers and each child’s intellectual, emotional, and social learning is nurtured in a caring and supportive environment.
