Our Vision Our Mission and Values

The Fuente Nueva Charter School main campus is located within the Arcata
School District on a site that is visually pleasing and reflects our mission, our
values, and our school culture. We incorporate clean energy and sustainable
practices in an effort to live lightly on the earth. Our facilities are adequate size
to fulfill our mission. English and Spanish are represented throughout the campus
equally, in both written and verbal forms. The campus serves as gathering
space where parents and community members can share in the richness of our
school culture. The students of Fuente Nueva enjoy coming to school and
spending the day in classrooms that maximize opportunities for learning.
Students are holistically supported to meet or exceed grade level benchmark
goals. The program offers a solid presentation of the core content areas with a
rich diversity in extracurricular offerings. The school is well staffed to meet our
mission and goals, with teachers, aides, and support specialists that share in the
Fuente Nueva mission. Collaborations between staff and other resource people
provide both structure and opportunity for continuous improvement and growth.
The Fuente Nueva Charter School mission is to empower
kindergarten through fifth grade students to become engaged world
citizens through a challenging and creative Spanish immersion program that
emphasizes academic excellence, the arts,
community involvement and social responsibility.
We value
u A supportive and stimulating academic environment that nurtures the
whole child;
u Multilingual communication abilities and appreciation;
u Empathy, compassion, and respect for cultural and ecological diversity;
u A lifelong love of learning;
u Collaboration and team work among community members.
