What makes  Colegio Petite different from other Bilingual Charter Schools ? 

​Colegio Petite is a nurturing, language-rich school that develops the global child: academically, socially, and non-cognitively.  We don't teach language as a separate class; rather, we teach both English and Spanish through academic content. We offer a rigorous, K-5 dual language learning community serving Santa Cruz County, Arizona.  We are a FREE, Public Charter School that is excited to serve all elementary students. Our program is designed to meet the needs of all students, whether they speak one or more languages. The benefits of learning a second language are tremendous.
