Description
Arco Iris Spanish Immersion School is a K-8 grade public charter school in Beaverton, Oregon, featuring Spanish immersion and Singapore Math, a highly acclaimed mathematics program. Our mission is to foster an increased academic ability that includes students becoming bilingual, bi-literate and multi-cultural so that they are fully prepared for college, career, and citizenship. The school was founded by several parents and educators in 2010 who were passionate about their children receiving a rigorous academic education that included a second language.
We are a close-knit school with about 250 students. Our students follow a dress-code of navy blue or khaki pants, and a solid red, white, or blue shirt to promote unity and cohesiveness. We are proud of our school and can only do it with the support of all of our parents. It does take a village!
