El Colegio Charter School
El Colegio Charter School
Minneapolis,Minnesota
El Colegio Charter School has been serving a diverse group of high school students in English and Spanish from the Twin Cities metropolitan area since 2000. Their mission is to graduate creative, culturally-grounded students who excel in bilingual and bicultural environments and are prepared for college, employment, and community leadership. School programs engage students in challenging, profound learning experiences that integrate research-based teaching strategies with Latino culture and traditions. They provide a supportive and personalized environment so that students are known by faculty and are individually supported to meet the challenges of high school and beyond. The school hosts the premier Day of the Dead celebration in South Minneapolis, welcoming over 250 community members each November 1. They also hold over 30 community meetings, arts events, and other activities in their building annually. In 2009 they received a 21st Century Community Learning Center grant to expand and enhance after-school and summer-school programming, serving over 150 students annually.
