Foreign language instruction is offered to all students at SJND with a focus on conversational Spanish.

SJND is proud to offer a self-contained computer lab. 3rd through 5th grade students use the lab to learn basic technology skills. The tech lab is available to all students through the course of the day to work on assignments and play educational games.

Field trips are designed to supplement and enrich the classroom curriculum. SJND students attend a number of educational field trips related to their studies in social studies, the arts, and science. Along with teachers and instructional aides, parent volunteers provide supervision on field trips. The 6th graders attend a three day outdoor science camp at the Marin Headlands, while the 8th graders attend the Yosemite Institute.
