Mission, Vision, and Goals

The vision is to promote student bilingualism and biliteracy, academic achievement across content areas, and acquire multicultural competency. 

Through a structured and positive dual language program, students will enhance their social-emotional learning and gain cultural tolerance in an ever-changing diverse society.

  • Students will learn how to bridge both languages to successfully reach biliteracy. 
 
Goal 2: Academic achievement.
 
 
    • Students will develop academic language in both Spanish, which then bridges over to English. 
    • Students will be able to make language connections across content areas. 
 

Goal 3: Cultural competency .

  • Students will learn from the diversity within the school community and beyond. 
  • Students will build worldly knowledge which will allow them to develop a growth mindset. 
  • Students will develop social skills which will help them be successful in a global community.
