Welcome to Canalino and CFS!

Canalino School  provides our students with a motivating and thought-provoking education program that meets the needs of the whole child.  We encourage all students to reach their highest potential as confident, respectful, problem-solving life-long learners.  We achieve this through strong and unique connections between school, home and community.  Parents for Canalino
