High School of World Cultures

Our motto is “Children First–No Excuses–High Standards.” The ENL, Dual Language, and CTE Culinary Arts instructional programs enrich students’ life skills. We build on students’ rich identities and cultural beliefs to prepare them to be successful and fluent in English. The Dual Language strand offers monolingual English, multilingual English, and Spanish proficient students the opportunity to become bilingual and biliterate in English and Spanish. The CTE program allows students the chance to gain skills-based experience and knowledge in the realm of Culinary Arts. The ENL, Dual Language, and CTE programs can be taken independently or together.

• The High School of World Cultures consists of English Language Learners (ELLs). We offer a range of ELL programs, including Dual Language English-Spanish program as well as a traditional free standing English as a New Language program. CTE in Culinary Arts is focused on hands on instruction and demonstrations for the training and skill development involved with Culinary Arts. Students are selected through survey and demonstration of intent to complete the required credits.
