hi my name is Catherine Cohen and I'm the principal superintendent of the Eleanor kolitz Hebrew language Academy on the day-to-day I run the administration supervising teachers and staff make sure that the school is running smoothly and that the days are going well so the vision of Accola is that Echo will be the model in educating its students and academics values Hebrew language and Israeli cultures wants to be more than just a traditional public school so in addition to having strong academics like most schools try to have we also try and still values in our students and we think it's important that all students learn a second language and then that second language is Hebrew and along with the Hebrew language we teach the culture of Israel which is the state that Hebrew is spoken in as its official language hi my name is Tracy Smith I am part of the creative team here at a club so one of our main focus is here as well as Aqua is to really make sure every student succeeds no matter what level does Lairon teachers work with them one-on-one counsel them one-on-one and if Eva needs to get himself to just counseling reasons be take them aside have discussions and try to work with them little by little to help them grow and mature in these areas as a parent and teacher I am always so proud of the kind of students we have it that well I have the interfering with the middle schoolers for all three years and in that time if we're Square values are embedded in their curriculum so they develop into so much more than just a strong student Middle School at exit is all about arcademic and behavioral staff are golden middle school is to nurture shape and promote students were responsible capable and ready for success in the world outside of a clan are teachers most of who have been here for more than five years for collaboratively our students receive not only challenging academics but also all the skills that allow them to be lifelong Learners students are encouraged to think critically and question the world as it is presented to them it's higher level of thinking allows them to be more informed citizens of society and to make better decisions for their future I have the privilege of teaching the same group of students for multiple years in a row because I am the history teacher for the Middle School a huge benefit of that is that I know my kids and I my students I know how they learn I know what ways are better to give instructions so they understand the material for me as a teacher I know my kids so I know how to plan activities that will reach them all and turn all the different types of learning styles our after-school programming allows students to participate in a wide range of after-school activities we are part of the Texas Charter academics and Athletics League we are free pedigree sports for a 4th and 8th graders are young 4th and 5th grade athletes compete with our middle school teams in sports is a wonderful opportunity to develop concepts of goal attainment leadership through hard work and self-discipline at a very young age hi my name is Alejandro Trujillo I graduated atque in 2015 in the 8th grade I had the privilege of attending the 8th grade graduation trip and Israel and it was really the first time I had tell him you asked and it going to experience a whole new culture we had spent the semester leading up to it really practicing or Hebrew at least basic Hebrew for me learning how to have conversations with people whose culture is a be different than yours but he seen it come to life being there being there for a Saturday morning Chavez was truly experience I will never forget hi I'm Brandy b t a i have a first grader Luke of ETA who's that guy I first was introduced to the school the construction of their new building I was privileged to work with the leadership team the board and some of the parents in this project and realize that I wanted my son when he attended kindergarten to go to a class B academic performance center core values of a nurturing environment diversity have been perfect for him to thrive I couldn't recommend at some more my name is Elias for his very first year as a 5th grader my best memory of equity how connected I was with all my teachers Jaime they all really cared about me and would educate all of you my favorite part of being a Acura is PE because we do a lot of fun games and miss you it is really nice my favorite part about equi is or pictures because they show me really well and they're very nice to me hi my name is Talia I'm a current 8th grade student at Aflac and I've been here since kindergarten and I am really lucky to have had the opportunity to go to the school since I was let off it has given me so many lifelong friendships and connected me with so many people and I'm just so lucky to have had this opportunity to come to the school so Aqua has a set of six core values that are threaded through the day starting in kindergarten all the way through 8th grade our core values include words like support passion integrity and honesty respect and acceptance. Indian creativity and repairing the world it's important that we educate more than just as soon as mine but that we're working on their hearts and their values and who they are as a whole and we feel like reading those core values purposefully and then modeling for them these six values has an impact on who they are in the planet for any parent that's interested in enrolling your student at glad we asked that you call the office and sign up for a tour Orvis aqua.org to find out more information about a cline Come Grow With US
