We provide a 'specialized concentration' of study in STEAM throughout our Bilingual Program to ensure that our students are prepared for their college or career opportunities in the 21st century. We provide a comprehensive Family Infant Program to ensure that every parent is aware of the options for their child. Early language access is crucial for success in all aspects of life.  We provide a Transition Program to ensure that every student has the fundamentals to pursue job opportunities upon graduation.  The Center for Language and Literature provides many diverse opportunities for our students. A Signacy and Oracy lab promotes understanding the value of two languages, the enrichment of ASL/English literature, and additional support, as needed for students who transition from another school. We Believe... Our Child First philosophy provides every child the opportunity to develop language as an individual. This will ensure optimal learning and development. We embrace the diverse cultures and ethnicities of each student and their family while supporting the acquisition of American Sign Language and English (Bilingualism). With a Data and Evidence Driven philosophy, we continue to ensure a high-quality education through informed decision making. Current research and trends drive our Progressive approach. Our goal is to create a strong foundation for critical thinking and lifelong learning in a rapidly changing and increasingly technological world. Page 14
