Amigos School Reviews

My son loves Amigos! All the teachers he has had so far have been absolutely great! He grew up with both languages and is proud that he is in a dual immersion program. Wonderful principal as well. The librarian knows the kids by name and has a sense of what they like to read. The playground is great. I was a bit worried about the public elementary schools when I moved here, but have been impressed with Amigos.

2 language immersion schools enable students to celebrate learning and appreciate different cultures as well get the skill of speaking 2 languages. Amigos is welcoming, challenging and cooperative.

My daughter was recruited by a prestigious private school as she graduated the AMIGOS School and recently graduated college with outstanding grades.

Our daughter feels happy to go to school each day. The small class size and warmth of the teachers and administrators exudes love and stability. Amigos is a public, two-way immersion bilingual English-Spanish school. Half the children are native Spanish speakers, and half are native English speakers. My Anglo daughter speaks, reads and writes in Spanish as if she were a native speaker, and it is very strong part of her self-esteem. She also has a broader knowledge of the world around her - economics, politics and history. This program is more challenging than traditional schools but the payoff has been well worth it. I feel it has strengthened her knowledge and facility with her first language - English. The principal is an outstanding administrator. She garners the support and resources she needs so no child is left behind. Some grades are also getting Chinese instruction on a part-time basis.
