Teacher & Staff Appreciation
Our students not only become bicultural but become bilingual and biliterate in Spanish and English. NVLA enrolls a balanced number of native English and native Spanish speakers, creating a much sought-after, vibrant, and diverse school community. Almost 700 local children in kindergarten through sixth grade acquire the fundamentals of reading, writing and arithmetic in both Spanish and English each year. Students who continue in the dual immersion program through high school may receive the seal of bi-literacy on their diploma as well as a special certificate from the International Spanish Academy. Along with the dual immersion program, students get the opportunity to experience amazing enrichment classes free of charge. These classes include music, performing arts, sports, gardening and many others. Our fundraisers cover the costs of all this!
