OUR PHILOSOPHY

PHILOSOPHY

At Bonita Learning Academy we believe that there is a need for a bilingual school for young children; a school with a multicultural scope. Children under the age of six are in a unique period of cognitive development, especially language development. To foster this, we surround our students with educational stimuli in two languages: English and Spanish, taught by teachers who are native speakers as well as certified educators.

At B.L.A., we recognize that children are, from birth, creatures of multiple intelligences: observing, listening, absorbing, and classifying information in many diverse ways. At the same time, they absorb the values and culture of family and community. At B.L.A., we offer an enrichment and safe introduction to a larger, loving, and caring community, prioritizing a child's social-emotional development.

Bonita Learning Academy's philosophy is to appreciate and nurture each child, while recognizing his or her unique personality, learning style, and potential.  Each student in our program is encouraged to develop a strong sense of his or her own abilities and responsibilities as thinking individuals and as members of a group. Furthermore, we address the needs of the whole child by providing a strong base of academic preparation and the enhancement of body and spirit through our fine arts, mindfulness, and physical education curriculum.

We hope and believe that Bonita Learning Academy graduates will take their places in future classrooms with joy, confidence, and a true appreciation of and respect for themselves, others, and the process of learning.
