Kids in our program learn in both English and Spanish every day.
Whether your child speaks only English, only Spanish, or a mix of both, we meet them where they are and help them grow. Students who develop proficiency in a second language have increased faculty learning additional languages and are prepared for a greater variety of career choices and access to a more global community.
