It takes about 60 seconds.

Two languages. One teacher who knows your child.

Your child's teacher works with him or her in both languages all year. Not a rotation of translators. The same person, building the same relationship, in English and the child's home language.

Academic growth in both languages at the same time.

The school tracks your child's progress in both languages. Your child doesn't fall behind in one to catch up in the other. The growth happens together.

Language as identity, not remediation.

Being bilingual is treated as a strength here, not something to fix. Your child's home language is part of how they learn, not something they leave at the door.

Your child gets noticed for trying, not just performing.

The school runs a daily recognition program. If your child shows up, does the work, and pushes through the hard part, he or she hears about it. Not just at the end of the year. Every day.

It's a publicly funded school. The state pays for your child's education here. Your child's in school right now. Today counts. Tomorrow counts. Every semester he or she spends in a school that's not moving him or her forward is a semester he or she doesn't get back. You've read the numbers. You know what your child needs. Here's where you find out if this is it.
