Overview Paragraph

We are a college prep school founded on the belief that mastery of communication skills in both English and a studentsÂ’ native language is key to realizing a studentÂ’s potential in a multicultural society. We are committed to assisting students in maintaining the richness of their native language and culture and celebrating their individual differences, while providing them with a sense of place in their community and society as a whole. Our mission is to ensure that students develop the bilingual speaking, reading, writing, and listening skills designed to prepare them for higher education and/or the work force.
