Seattle Amistad School is an independent, two-way (Spanish/English) immersion school serving grades pre-K-5.
At the Seattle Amistad School, native English speakers, native Spanish speakers, and bilingual students learn together in a bilingual, bicultural environment. Students participate in a dynamic academic program, while developing full proficiency and literacy in both Spanish and English.
Mission
At Seattle Amistad School, we foster community integrity through rigorous bilingual and bicultural education, developing our students' academic strengths and cultural sensibilities, while nurturing compassionate and engaged citizens.
Vision
At Seattle Amistad School, we envision a community where children don't have to choose between connection to their cultural values and a good education. Indeed, we know that schools are most successful when they are grounded in and develop students' cultural and linguistic assets. We envision a community where all students are able to navigate both their own cultural contexts, and those of others. We know that children who have the tools to bridge cultural and linguistic divides will be leaders in creating a more just, compassionate world.
