Director's Message

Dear Students,
 
Welcome to Tierra Encantada Charter School, where your journey of learning, growth, and discovery is about to take flight! We are thrilled to extend our warmest greetings and open our doors to you, eager minds, who will be an integral part of our thriving community.
 
At Tierra Encantada, we pride ourselves on offering an exceptional educational experience that goes beyond the ordinary. Our mission is to create a vibrant and nurturing environment where every student can flourish and achieve their fullest potential. As you join our close-knit family, we want to share some of the exciting programs that make us stand out.
 
1.    Dual Language Program: Unlocking a World of Possibilities
¡Bienvenidos! Welcome! We are committed to fostering bilingualism and multicultural understanding among our students through our successful Dual Language Program. By immersing yourself in both English and Spanish, you will not only become fluent speakers but also develop an appreciation for diverse cultures. We believe that being bilingual will open doors to countless opportunities in an interconnected world, and it will equip you to become empathetic global citizens.
 
2.    Project-Based Learning: Unleashing Creativity and Critical Thinking
At Tierra Encantada, we embrace Project-Based Learning (PBL) as a cornerstone of our curriculum. PBL challenges you to become active learners and problem solvers by engaging in hands-on, real-world projects. From designing sustainable cities to exploring historical events through simulations, you'll be at the helm of your education, developing essential skills such as collaboration, communication, and critical thinking. Get ready to embark on thrilling intellectual adventures!
 
3.    Dual Credit Program: Advancing Your Academic Journey
We believe in providing opportunities for our students to excel academically. Our Dual Credit Program allows students to enroll in college-level courses while in high school. This means you can earn college credits even before stepping foot on a university campus. Imagine the head start you'll have in your college education and the chance to delve deeper into subjects you are passionate about. We are committed to preparing you for success, both in high school and beyond.
 
At Tierra Encantada, we are dedicated to building a supportive community of learners, educators, and parents who share the vision of fostering a love for knowledge, exploration, and self-discovery. Together, we will create an environment where you will thrive, where your dreams will be nurtured, and where you will be empowered to make a positive impact on the world.
 
Get ready to embrace an exciting educational journey filled with challenges, triumphs, and unforgettable memories. We cannot wait to see you shine as you navigate through our successful Dual Language, Project-Based Learning, and Dual Credit Programs.
 
Once again, welcome (or welcome back!) to Tierra Encantada Charter School! Let the adventure begin!
Sincerely,
 
Danny Peña
