Esperanza Academy

Make sure you check out our upcoming college visits. Meeting with a school representative is a great way to get your questions answered, and see if the college is a good fit for you! Check the schedule here: esperanzaacademycs.org/college-visits/

We want to give a huge shout-out to Suzette Ortiz and AMLA for their three, incredible visits to the Middle School. We have learned so much about music and how it relates to our Hispanic Heritage. Thank you for this fun learning experience!

"AMLA did an awesome job presenting on the theme of African Rhythms in Latin Music. Ms. Susette Ortiz provided historical context of the various forms of musical fusion, while playing instruments from different countries in Latin America and Africa to provide a visual and an auditory demonstration to our students. My students gained a deeper understanding of the term fusion in music and how African rhythms and roots influence various traditional genres of Latin music (bomba and plena from Puerto Rico, and rumba and son cubano). The students danced and asked relevant questions to Ms. Ortiz to which she offered insight based on her wholesome experience as an artist. We are grateful for having the opportunity to collaborate with AMLA. " - Ms. Vicioso, EAMS Spanish Teacher
