Preschool

At our kindergarten with bilingual education, students thrive in an environment where Spanish and English are part of everyday learning. From ages 1 to 6, they explore languages through stories, songs, and interactive activities, building confidence and cultural awareness. Guided by international standards, students grow cognitively and academically while developing strong multilingual and cross-cultural skills in a safe, nurturing setting.

At our bilingual Elementary School, students grow as confident bilingual communicators through an innovative curriculum with 80% instruction in English and 20% in Spanish. Engaging projects, bilingual lessons, and diverse perspectives help students master academic standards while fostering cultural appreciation. With families and community partners actively involved, students develop global competencies that prepare them for success in a connected world.

Through project-based learning, students engage in real-world experiences that connect language to culture, expanding global awareness while strengthening communication. This balanced, hands-on approach helps students thrive academically and personally in a diverse, interconnected world.

High School students thrive in a truly multilingual environment. With a curriculum taught 70% in English and 30% in Spanish, they build fluency in both languages while exploring electives in French, Italian, and German.
