Castillero Education Foundation
SciJams are after school science workshops that are all about fun! If you like experimenting like the Mythbusters do, you'll love the SciJams. Please note, SciJams are for current Castillero students only.
The mission of the Castillero Education Foundation is to help improve the quality and breadth of academics at Castillero. We're a group of parents, teachers, and administrators that care about the education of our kids. If you want to help improve the quality and breadth of academics at Castillero, please donate and/or help us by joining the Foundation as a volunteer. More information and you can also join the email group.
