Background:
|
|
Academia de Lenguaje y Bellas Artes (ALBA) was established as an instrumentality charter school beginning with the 2004-2005 school year. The current contract is for a maximum of 650 full-time equivalent (FTE) pupils in grades K4 through 8. ALBA is located at 1712 S. 32nd Street.
ALBA’s mission is founded on the conviction that bilingual students can reach their full potential academically, in English and Spanish when challenged through a rigorous curriculum that develops critical thinking, problem solving and creativity through the integration of the fine arts. ALBA’s students will develop self-confidence and self-worth as their Hispanic cultural identity is both recognized and valued through the curriculum as they prepare to be internationally minded life-long learners. Parents are vital partners in this mission.
On August 29, 2024, the Board approved a five-year contract with ALBA and requested Administration provide a report on its progress. |
