Our Mission
At Amistad, we center and radically commit to joy, excellence, and liberation for black, brown, and Indigenous students and families. As a two-way dual language program, we prioritize native Spanish-speaking families and strengthen our students’
connections to their home languages and cultures. We nurture bilingual, bicultural, and bi-literate students who use their gifts to change the future for their communities, families, and themselves.
Our vision
At Seattle Amistad School, we envision a community where children don’t have to choose between connection to their cultural values and a good education. Indeed, we know that schools are most successful when they are grounded in and develop students’ cultural and linguistic assets. We envision a community where all students are able to navigate both their own cultural contexts, and those of others. We know that children who have the tools to bridge cultural and linguistic divides will be leaders in creating a more just, compassionate world.
