Latin Academy
Latin Academy is educating younger generations of Latino heritage about the complex beauty of our origins. Our goal is to give them a strong sense of belonging, which will in turn help foster a society of diversity and inclusion.
We are dedicated to caring for our planet by educating our student community on how climate changes are affecting Latin America, and teaching and practicing new eco-friendly habits within our community...such as conserving energy and reducing waste by banning single use plastics, leveraging reusable materials, and gardening... todo en español.
Our mission is to immerse younger generations with cultural awareness from Latin America through programming, education and empowerment. Our workshop-based program for children and young adults reinforces the Spanish language and culture through cooking, music, travel, academics and community activities. And we are super emocionados!
WHY?
Because 50.5 million Americans speak Spanish
Because 2nd and 3rd generations of Latinos can’t talk to their abuelos in Spanish.
Because parents can’t just “speak Spanish at home” to teach them a language and culture…it’s not enough.
Because Latino ancestors are something to talk about.
