OUR VISION

Inspire scholars to be prepared for lifelong success, with rich academic content served by a bilingual staff who knows each student by name and need.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES

Dreamers Academy follows the model of the Center for Applied Linguistics, currently used by the most successful Dual Language Programs across the country.

The three pillars of Dual Language Education are:

Dreamers Academy Sarasota | Bilingual
BILINGUALISM & BILITERACY
Students develop oral skills in two languages (bilingualism) and the ability to read and write in two languages (biliteracy).
Dreamers Academy Sarasota | Astounding Achievement
ASTOUNDING ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT

Students demonstrate high levels of academic achievement, and they will be able to do so in English and in Spanish.

Dreamers Academy Sarasota | Cross Cultural
CROSS CULTURAL COMPETENCY

Students develop cross-cultural skills that will enable them to function responsibly and effectively in a variety of social contexts.

Core Values & Character Development

At Dreamers Academy, leadership and character development are embedded throughout all student programs and activities. Students are encouraged to model positive behavior, build healthy relationships, demonstrate responsibility, and become active members of their school and community.

Throughout the school year, scholars participate in activities, discussions, assemblies, and service projects centered around our core values:

  • Collaboration – working together, teamwork, and communication
  • Empathy – understanding and caring for others
  • Happiness & Wonder – promoting positivity, curiosity, creativity, and joy in learning
  • Integrity – doing the right thing even when no one is watching
  • Perseverance – overcoming challenges, resilience, and growth mindset

Students also participate in activities that promote self-awareness, self-management, emotional regulation, critical thinking, problem-solving, and positive decision-making skills.
