About the Employer
About Us: Located next to the Franklin Elementary campus in Santa Barbara, Adelante Charter School is a Spanish-English immersion elementary school, where every child enters as a second language learner and every child graduates bilingual and bi-literate. Adelante’s two-way immersion (TWI) program design is the most effective way to teach a second language to all learners. Children who are bilingual demonstrate a cognitive advantage that could last a lifetime, affecting skills related to planning, problem-solving, mental focus, and memory. Within this language and culture-rich environment, Adelante implements an outstanding academic program with an emphasis on science, math, technology, and the arts.
