Bostonia Language Academy SOF'S SCHOOL

I have two students at Bostonia, one in 5th and one in 3rd grades. I am a teacher myself and my kids’ grandma is a retired teacher who volunteers in my kids classes several days a week, so I have a good idea of what actually is going on in the classes from both a parent’s and teacher’s perspective.

I am very happy with their learning. We are an English only household but both of my kids are above grade level in both English and Spanish. My older daughter began at Jamacha before all the dual language programs were relocated to Bostonia. I agree that how the district handled the transition was not the best, but after sticking it out for a few years I can say that it was for the best. My younger child is far more fluent Than my older child who began at Jamacha, and I feel the difference is that she was truly immersed, not just a kid from “the Spanish class”. I can assure you that the teachers absolutely are teaching the kids, and immersing them not just having them learn from computers. Computers are used to supplement and support instruction, which is indicative of a 21st century classroom.

I teach science and engineering, so one of the things I really liked about the program at Bostonia was the computer science focus. I honestly think it is better at the lower grade levels- I think as the kids get older it is harder for their core teachers who don’t always have a lot of computer science background to know enough to feel comfortable teaching programming languages. Nevertheless, the kids at the school get a positive first impression of engineering and aren’t afraid of programming like most people are. This is a huge benefit to their futures.

My kids have been going here for three years. And I am beyond satisfied with my children's education. They learn to read and write in both English and Spanish. Not only is this a bilingual school, but also a computer science school. Something that most elementary schools don't offer. I am amazed with all the programs they learn on their chromebooks. Mrs. Jacobo, the principal along with the many teachers are very friendly. I highly recommend Bostonia Language Academy.

Bostonia Language Academy is a fabulous school, my son is in Kindergarten this year and he has learned so much, he loves going to school and doesn’t want to miss. His teacher Maestra Morales is awesome! She is very caring. I love Bostonia Language Academy it’s the best!!!

All the staff here are amazing. They really are there to support you in any way possible. I was nervous not knowing how my kindergarten would do since he knows no Spanish. Now a month and a half later, this kid is speaking, singing and writing in Spanish. I'm so impressed. I love this school, how they encourage every student to learn and support one another.

Coming from a student,this is the BEST school that may have ever existed. All the staff is amazing and the PTA is super supportive. I also LOVE the idea of learning computer science. If someone who has not gone reads this review. GO THERE. Amazing school and staff.
