Who We Are
The mission of Horace Mann is to teach all students to speak, read, and write in both English and Spanish through a strong standards-based curriculum taught in both languages. The vision at Horace Mann is to create confident, bilingual, and bi-literate learners who can problem-solve and be successful in the diverse world we live in.
What We Offer
Horace Mann is a two-way dual language magnet school. Half of the students entering at kindergarten are native English speakers and half are native Spanish speakers. Students build a strong foundation of language arts in their first language while acquiring a second through vocabulary rich instruction in mathematics, science, social studies and exploratory classes. Starting in second grade students receive language arts instruction in both languages. Students are bilingual after completing our nine year program.
