What Are Core Values?

• Dual Language Learning: Refers to students who learn academic content in more than one language. In our model, Dual language learners learn a second language, whether it is English or Spanish while continuing to develop their first language.

• Project Based Learning: Opportunities offer hands-on learning experiences for our students.

• Partnership/Collaboration: Students and teachers have opportunities to work together with other schools from across the United States to collaborate on different content areas.

• Character Development: At ASPIRA, Character Development is just as important as teaching the curriculum. Each letter of ASPIRA stands for a different Character trait that we develop with our student throughout the school year.

• Accountability

  • Social & Emotional Intelligence

  • Positive Mindset

  • Inquiry

  • Resilience
