In response to the increasing Hispanic population on the near south side
of Milwaukee, parents, community members, and teachers with strong
beliefs in bilingual education and the fine arts joined together to create
the Academia de Lenguaje y Bellas Artes (ALBA). The school serves a
maximum population of 225 regular and exceptional education students
from three-year-old kindergarten through the fifth grade. In addition to
providing a developmental bilingual Spanish program, the curriculum
integrates the fine arts and creative writing with emphasis on Latino
contributions and cultural art forms. ALBA’s educational program is
founded on the conviction that bilingual students can reach their full
potential academically in English and Spanish when challenged through a
rigorous curriculum that develops critical thinking, problem-solving
skills, and creativity. The learning environment aids in fostering Hispanic
cultural identity and appreciation through the connections made from
strong parental support and community involvement.
