The mission at Maxwell Elementary is to provide an integrated multicultural learning environment that fosters the development of traditional basic skills as well as communication in Spanish.

All students receive instruction in Spanish half of the school day and instruction in English the rest of the day. The goal is proficiency in Spanish as a second language. By using higher-order thinking skills, students are empowered to become lifelong learners who can appreciate diversity in a changing world.

Admission:

Kids in grades K-1 are admitted based on a lottery draw.  Students in grades 2-5 with reading, writing, speaking and listening skills at designated levels can test in if there is room.

Students who are accepted into Maxwell's immersion program will continue through the middle and high school levels if they choose.

The application window for the 2012-2013 school year is closed.
