K-5 Academic Excellence

K-5 Spanish Immersion Program

Built on two powerful pillars: Expeditionary Learning and Spanish Immersion (80/20 model). Where academic excellence meets cultural richness and hands-on discovery.

Built on Two Pillars

Spanish Immersion (80/20 Model)

80% Spanish: Core subjects including math, science, social studies, and arts are taught in Spanish, providing authentic language acquisition through meaningful content.

20% English: English Language Arts ensures strong literacy development in students' native language while building bilingual competency.

No Prior Spanish Required: Families don't need Spanish language experience. Our immersion model supports all learners in developing bilingual skills naturally.

Expeditionary Learning (EL)

Project-Based Units: Students explore real-world topics through multi-week expeditions that integrate multiple subjects and culminate in authentic products.

Learning by Doing: Hands-on experiences through cooking, art, gardening, and movement make learning memorable and meaningful.

Character Development: Academic achievement is balanced with social-emotional learning, building confident, compassionate learners.
