Bilingual Classes

We have Bilingual Classes in Spanish and Chinese for the Math, Science, and History departments, as well as Native Language courses for Spanish and Chinese. The opportunities for students to learn in their native language vary from term to term, so a specific list of courses and teachers will not be provided, but it is a priority that students are included and well taken care of regardless of their first language.
