WELCOME TO THE WALA WEBSITE!

What are we? A K-8 Dual-Immersion Charter school where subjects are taught in both English and Spanish. Lao is also taught. Research shows significant cognitive and academic benefits to the early acquisition f a second language. Why pay a fortune? Get it her for free!

Bilingualism: Students are taught to not only speak, but to read and write in two languages with native-like proficiency, becoming both bilingual and bi-literate.

Multiculturalism and Peace Builders: WALA creates a focus on other cultures. We teach the value of cultures from around the world. Peace builders’ is a nationally acclaimed program that teaches the values of nonviolence, conflict resolution and creative relationship-building; crucial qualities for today’s young people.

Welcome Parental Involvement: Parents volunteer in educational, recreational and cultural activities, helping to build the warm atmosphere that is descriptive of WALA. Small class sizes and strong teacher contact.

The benefits of WALA reach not only students but also you who become a part of it; creating, sharing ideas, volunteering, and tutoring.

Won’t you consider the bilingual challenge for your child? Be a part of WALA and enlarge your world!
