About Us

Mrs. Scruton, Pricipal

Welcome to ALA (TK-8 and Circulos 9-12), where we foster a culture of excellence in education for students from transitional kindergarten to grade 12!

At ALA, we believe that culture is a cornerstone of learning. Our diverse community embraces and celebrates cultural differences, fostering an inclusive environment where students can learn from each other and develop a global perspective. We believe that understanding and appreciating different cultures prepares our students to become compassionate and empathetic citizens in a diverse world.

We are also proud to offer project-based learning, an innovative approach that empowers our students to actively participate in their own education. Through hands-on projects, students explore real-world challenges, collaborate with their peers, and develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Our students become architects of their own learning, actively engaging in their education and developing a lifelong love for learning.

At ALA, we recognize the importance of relationships in the learning process. Our dedicated teachers build strong connections with our students, creating a nurturing environment where students feel supported, valued, and encouraged to reach their full potential. We believe that strong relationships between students, teachers, and families are crucial for student success and well-being.

We are proud to be a school that fosters a student-centric approach to education, empowering our students to be the architects of their own learning. Our students take ownership of their education, setting goals, reflecting on their progress, and developing self-directed learning skills that will serve them well in their future endeavors.

Thank you for considering ALA as a place of learning for your child. We are committed to providing a holistic education that values culture, promotes project-based learning, nurtures relationships, and empowers students to be architects of their own learning. We look forward to partnering with you on your child's educational journey at ALA.
