About Us
-
We are an additive model, dual-immersion (DI), public school that fosters excellence in our students' bi-literacy of Spanish and English.
Our mission at Cave Language Academy is to prepare every child to become bilingual and bi-literate in Spanish and English, while achieving high levels of academic success to be college and career ready. This goal is ambitious and requires more commitment, and therefore can only be achieved with full, collaborative support from our school community.
