Diversity, equity and inclusion are just as essential to education as reading and math.
Nuestro Futuro + Our Future
Our vision is to provide an extraordinary resource to Napa Valley's Latina/o Community that makes progressive independent education accessible to all regardless of family background or income.
WE BELIEVE:
- Diversity, equity, and inclusion are just as essential to education as reading and mathematics.
- Our doors must always be open to the most financially challenged workers, their families and their children, many of whom serve our wine, agriculture and hospitality industries. We are intentional about a Blue Oak School community that reflects the demographic of our Valley.
- Interactions within a strong and inclusive community are essential for a vibrant 21st century education.
- Embracing one another’s cultural differences nourishes and strengthens our entire community.
NUESTRO FUTURO PROGRAM:
- Supports scholarship support for each eligible Latina/o student.
- Includes staff support available for translation and support services.
- Provides ancillary services including tutoring, after-school care and classes.
- Covers related costs such as lunch, school supplies, and extra-curricular school activities.
- Engages parents as partners in their child’s education.
- Empowers families to become key advocates for their child’s education.
- Coordinates with local nonprofits for extension of services such as immigration assistance, ESL, health and welfare, housing and mental health.
