Features of our School
ABC students will master the knowledge and skills they need to think critically,
work collaboratively, and maintain focus on their goals.
ABC students will be able to articulate their ideas through the written
and spoken word, finding and exercising their "voices" in both Spanish
and English.
ABC students will be actively engaged in their school and community, raising
awareness of issues and contributing to resolutions. Our students will
respect others and themselves and act as role models for their families
and communities.
At ABC we believe that:
- All children can learn and achieve academically;
- All children can learn to communicate effectively in their native language and in another language;
- All children can contribute to their school and their community;
- Families and communities are critical components of children's education;
- Effective communication skills empower students to become engaged in their education and community;
- Dual language education improves students' academic performance, cultural awareness, self-esteem, and sense of self;
- Bilingualism provides practical skills and opportunities for children;
- Dual language education provides a point of entry for families to become involved in their children's education; and,
- Community involvement is central to educational success and school success is central to community development.
