It's my son's first year in Amistad and we are thrilled by the high standard in education our son is getting! It's amazing to see how this unique program works, my son is one of the English domiant students and has had no problem with Spanish, his reading skills in English has progressed with amazing pace thanks to his amazing teacher!!! and no child gets left behind they have amazing team, and teachers' that work with your child if they see some struggle. Not to mention teacher's must report to the principal on a weekly basis on each childs' progress. Not to mention the benefits that scientist are finding on dual language programs for children and the brain! I highly recommend Amistad!!
