strengths, and that an understanding and development of these strengths will
help students achieve personal success. Service learning, project-based
curricula, and a focus on building community are at the heart of MASH.
Students learn to identify and use their individual talents and learning styles
by becoming aware of the relationships between choices and consequences
and the relationships among school, community, work, and career
opportunities.

Est. 2004 Academia de Lenguaje y Bellas Artes
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 four-yearold
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.
Est. 2004 Advanced Language and Academic Studies
The Advanced Language and Academic Studies (ALAS) High School is a
four-year (grades 9-12) bilingual high school functioning as an
instrumentality charter of Milwaukee Public Schools. The school works with
community members and institutions of higher learning to build a curriculum
according to Best Practices for English Language Learners as established
through educational research, emphasizing interdisciplinary links among
subject areas. Respect for social class, school culture, and climate is the
cornerstone of the program, as are high expectations for all students. The
goal is to graduate productive citizens who are prepared to enter university
programs and are also capable of getting on a career track to familysupporting
employment. The mission is to foster critical, lifelong learners
who know how to access, interpret, and critically use new and emerging
information.
Est. 2001 Audubon Technology & Communications Center
The Audubon Technology and Communication Center (ATCC) serves
student representative by European, African, Hispanic, Asian, Native
American, and other descents enrolled in grades 6-8. The ATCC believes that
all students can be successful. Its goal is to promote communication, the most
basic human strategy we use, to raise, educate, and empower children. It
seeks to improve students’ ability to express themselves articulately,
creatively, critically, and professionally. Each child is challenged to achieve
academic success through the use of direct instruction, individual or
cooperative teams, problem-solving activities, and real-life experiences.
