About Us

Our academic program is designed to promote academic success through the meaningful use of two languages. Through a student-centered, hands-on curriculum that emphasizes the cultures of the Americas, our students are nurtured to excel in academics and become literate in both Spanish and English.

English-speaking students are encouraged to enter at the Preschool and Kindergarten levels. They may apply to enter the program as late as the 1st grade. Spanish-speaking students may enter at any grade level. However, beyond the 1st grade they must demonstrate literacy in Spanish.
