A new school focused on teaching students about Latin American culture, providing personalized competency-based learning programs that prioritize Spanish as a second language, arts and Latin American culture, mathematics and technological innovation, initially as a Saturday program.
Latin American School (LATAM) is a non-profit 501c3 organization that offers K-12 bilingual education. The school’s mission is to provide a high-quality education that prepares students for success in college.
Edgar Bernal founded Latin American School (LATAM) after seeing the need for a bilingual school that would provide students with a solid academic foundation while also teaching them about Latin American culture. Edgar Bernal’s vision is to create a community where Latin Americans are represented and celebrated in all aspects of life. He believes that education is the key to achieving this vision.
The opening of LATAM is an important step forward for the North Carolina community. School provides a much-needed opportunity for children to receive a multicultural education.
The founders of the school are confident that LATAM will have a positive impact on the lives of its students and the community. They are excited to see what the future holds for LATAM and the community in North Carolina.
Latin American School (LATAM) admits students of any race, color, gender, nationality, and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate based on race, color, nationality, and ethnic origin in the administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.
In addition to the importance of education for the multicultural community in North Carolina, LATAM also emphasizes the importance of bilingualism. In today’s globalized world, bilingualism is an essential skill for success. LATAM’s bilingual education program prepares students for current challenges and opportunities. Bilingual students are better equipped to communicate with people from different cultures and have a wider range of job opportunities.
LATAM is proud to be part of the growing movement to promote bilingualism in North Carolina. The school is committed to providing students with the skills they need to succeed in a globalized world.
