The Para Los Niños Charter Middle School*

Building on the success of our charter elementary school, Para Los Niños opened its charter middle school in September of 2008 with an entering class of 54 sixth grade students. We strive to provide a rigorous, supportive, and interdisciplinary arts and sciences curriculum in a nurturing and safe environment.

Para Los Niños Charter Middle School will employ an interdisciplinary curricular structure based on relevant issues in the school, local, and global community and rooted in the California State Content Standards. Our goal is to ensure that all our students graduate Para Los Niños Charter Middle School prepared to enter a college-track curriculum in secondary school. Para Los Niños Charter Middle School teachers and staff will collaborate with each other, students, and expert community members to develop an academically rigorous and personally meaningful educational program. In addition to math, science, language arts, and social studies, Para Los Niños Charter Middle School students will participate in foreign language, art, and physical education programs.

All families of Para Los Niños Charter Middle School will have access to Para Los Niños’ comprehensive family support and after-school services. Hard-working parents can send their students to school knowing that their children are receiving the highest-quality care for eleven full hours a day. This generous schedule allows parents to work or attend school, and ensures that children are not left alone in the crucial after-school hours.
