Principal Message
Our vision of excellent instruction at Namaste is:
At the heart of our educational philosophy is a commitment to fostering academic rigor and holistic well-being for all our students. Our vision for academic excellence is built on the foundational belief that every child deserves a learning environment that encourages intellectual growth, personal development, and social-emotional wellness. Pursuing this vision, we emphasize a comprehensive approach integrating strong modeling, regular assessments, group instruction, and student choice.
We remain steadfast in our dedication to providing a dual-language educational experience that promotes high academic standards and nurtures bilingualism and biliteracy. Through our Dual Language Spanish Immersion Program, students are empowered to become confident, competent speakers, readers, and writers in English and Spanish, preparing them for a globalized world.
