History
Liberty Elementary School is located midway between Fresno and Bakersfield, amid the central San Joaquin Valley. Liberty was established in 1867 to provide an education for students living on the outskirts of Visalia and Tulare and has a 156-year tradition in the community. The school made a courageous move to its new Pacific Avenue location in the summer of 2013, after residing along Liberty Road and Mooney Boulevard for 146 years. Liberty Elementary serves 825 students in transitional kindergarten through eighth grade.
Liberty's academic program includes: instruction in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, Science, Physical Education, and Music. In addition to core instruction, students in grades TK-8 participate in technology, the arts education, band, journalism, leadership, STEM, and an outdoor garden to engage, challenge, and support student learning. Liberty provides an early child education for young students with a full-time preschool program, managed through the Liberty Elementary Education Foundation. For working families who require childcare outside of school hours, the foundation also offers before and after school care for students in the Kids Club Program.
