School Overview - High School
Esperanza Preparatory Academy (EPA) is a dual-language college preparation school. Students
master Spanish as a native or second language, as well as academic, social, and communication
skills. We offer students Spanish courses with the goal that they will be able to take college and
Advanced Placement (AP) courses in Spanish Literature, and become proficient in both Spanish
and English. We prepare students for college by providing them with internship opportunities and
a mentor that will expose them to college life/academics. Students work collaboratively with their
mentors to arrange college tours and develop college portfolios and have the opportunity to take
college courses.
