Homework is not taken very seriously by the teachers. Other students grade and a stamp is recieved as long as students show work.

I am proud to say I attended Alianza. Not many schools offer bilingual classes, and this has helped me so much in my employments. I am currently in the United States Air Force, and my bilingual skills have excelled me in so many ways. I am forever thankful for all the discipline and teaching I received from Alianza. The teachers are amazing, and they really care about the students. Not to mention all the events they have for the children, such as Children's Day , or Book Fairs.

all homework is relative to the lessons in class for that day. the timeline is more than enough for the assignments given

teachers are willing to stay behind in order to help students. not to mention the amazing after school program, where students have extra help in homework/tutoring.

I am very excited about my daughter, who will be a kinder and is "white" and an English speaker, attending this mostly hispanic Bilingual school. I can't wait for the bilingualism and the cultural exchange! How enriching for my daughter and our family. Whatever support the school needs, I am a dedicated parent who plans to give so much here in both time and money/fundraising. I visited the school, it's in a beautiful country location, and met some of the teachers, who I really enjoyed talking to and who seem very sensitive and excited about their job. I am really excited this special place exists and am looking very forward to my daughter being here and to this school being a part of our lives. The principal..had several conversations with him and am very impressed with him and his mission at Alianza.
