Bilingualism, Biliteracy & Multiculturalism
We believe children have a right to nurture their cultural and linguistic connections, and to use those strengths as the foundation for a rigorous academic experience.
Academics
Real power comes from knowledge. Amistad exceeds Washington State standards in Spanish and English.
Cooperation, Collective Empowerment & Social Justice
We work together so every student becomes a compassionate leader in their community and world.
Cultural Democracy / Anti-Bias
Every voice has equal weight. We challenge oppression, ethnocentrism, and marginalization.
Centrality of Family & Community
Culture and language are the foundation of education, not something to leave at the school door.

Hear from our families
A community that families call home.
My kiddos' love of being at Amistad was foundational to their language development and we can't say enough about the amazing teachers.
We love Amistad and have been there since 2020. We have two kids there (1st and 3rd) and they are thriving. The teachers are fantastic and the focus on early childhood education is especially notable.
The bilingual approach has helped our children grow confidently in two languages while appreciating diverse cultures.
It is a positive, supportive, and inclusive environment. Every child is known by name — and so is every family.
