Overview:<br />
The Burns Latino Studies Academy is a community school in an urban setting, serving students in grades Pre-K through 8. As<br />
a community school, the Burns Latino Studies Academy provides academics, enrichment activities, and services for students<br />
and families in the school and community.<br />
Four key elements of the academic component of the school are: (1) provide students with a rich, dynamic curriculum that<br />
applies learning experiences within a global context, focusing on Latin America, (2) provide students with the opportunity to<br />
broaden their perspectives by interacting with dignitaries and visitors from other countries, (3) fully engage students in field<br />
studies that take them beyond the school into the community, and (4) provide studies in a second language. The teachers<br />
will implement these four elements through curriculum alignment with the Common Core Standards and the Latino Studies<br />
theme.<br />
