El Sol Academy is one of the highest performing schools serving low income students in California. This award-winning charter school designs its own unique English and Spanish dual-immersion curriculum, provides professional development for its teachers, facilitates parental involvement, and offers a number of programs to ensure its students success. Opened in 2001, the preschool through 8th grade charter school currently serves nearly 1,000 students, with a waiting list of 800. El Sol has a robust extended day program offering supplemental academic instruction for struggling students and cultural enrichment activities in the areas of music, dance, sports, and math. Additionally, El Sol has its own preschool, which is facilitated by retirees in the classroom, and the SOS-El Sol Wellness Center, which provides a wide range of on-site health, education and social services, as well as case management for the school’s families.
In addition to being the 2014 California Charter School Association Charter School of the Year, El Sol has received numerous awards for its work serving English Learners including the Bright Spot in Hispanic Education from the US Department of Education and White House Initiative on Hispanic Education.
Participants can park at 900 N Broadway. They should stop at the parking booth and tell them they are attending a meeting at El Sol and it will be validated. They should then walk back down/up Broadway and meet at the parking lot next to the Wellness Center. We can start tour there.
