I am a parent my children have been in this school since kinder and I have never had an issue the school is great and I love that my kids are fluent in both English and Spanish thanks to the curriculum the school uses Close Quote

Eugenio Maria de Hostos Charter School in Philadelphia is a caring school where students can feel safe in the inner city. Together, the faculty averages 8-10 years in the field of education and the majority of which possess Master's degrees or multi-certification. Classroom size consists of 12 to 25 students, averaging about 21 per class. The school has continued to make Annual Yearly Progress over the last several years, even though classes are taught in two languages (Spanish and English). This dual-language immersion program is not conducted out of necessity but providing the children with another skill, which will help them meet the need of a nation with a growing Hispanic population. I would not hesitate to send my own children to this school. Close Quote
