Cali Calmécac Language Academy

“The teachers are very welcoming of my young child, which makes all the difference on the more difficult morning drop-offs. They communicate with me regularly about his behavior in a way that makes me feel like we are partners working toward a shared goal.”

“My child is getting a step ahead by having a whole culture and language brought to them at their level.”

"If my daughter has a very kind teacher who gives her the security and motivation to wake up every day excited to go to class, she is happy in her kindergarten class. The staff is also very kind, both in person and over the phone. Everyone is very friendly and supportive.

I recommend Cali Calmécac school. Thank you to the teachers. My daughters have learned both Spanish and English, and I highly recommend this school to anyone who would like their children to become bilingual. For me, it is the best school. Thank you to all the teachers for your great effort and dedication.

Si mi niña tiene una maestra muy amable que le da esa seguridad y esa motivación de levantarse cada día e ir feliz a su clase, ella es feliz en su clase de kínder. El personal también es muy amable, tanto en persona como por vía telefónica; todos son muy amables.

Yo recomiendo la escuela Cali Calmécac. Gracias a los maestros. Mis hijas han aprendido español e inglés. Yo la recomiendo a todas las personas que les gustaría que sus hijos hablen español e inglés. Para mí, es la mejor escuela. Gracias, maestros, por su gran esfuerzo."

“Cali offers resources for parents and students such as have open communication in where students can improve, offer extra help if needed. Teachers really do their best to help students succeed such as follow up on strengths and weaknesses of students, give advice on how parents can help to help their child succeed academically.” 

“I feel that communication between staff is well received and responded to in a timely manner.”

“My older son graduated from Cali and my 2nd son is a 3rd grader. We have always felt supported by the teachers and they have all been great to my kids and me. I have not had any issues with the staff or any of their teachers.”

“The teachers appear to get along and have the students at the forefront of their decisions. My children have always felt supported by their teachers and administrative staff.” 

“Students at Cali are learning two languages because of that Cali's program is very academic. Students who graduate from Cali are bilingual which makes them more knowledgeable and advanced academically.” 

“The dual immersion program cannot be beat, it is simply the best education one can give their child.  The teachers are impressive and they teach children so much!”

“My child has created a great group of friends who are strong academically, emotionally supportive, and kind to each other. They participate in sports and tend to be well-behaved in school. There are a few teachers who seem to really care for their students, and try very hard to make school a great place to learn. They participate in after-school programs, are present at events and provide clear communication when a student is struggling. Some of them even put together their own events for fundraising. These are the teachers and staff we need.”

“I like the relationships my daughter has been able to build with attending the same school k-8. I like the relationships that were built in the early years.”
