The Carlos Rosario International Public Charter School (Carlos Rosario School) is a Local Education Agency (LEA) funded by the District of Columbia. Its mission is to deliver high-quality education, career training, and support services that enable adult immigrants while strengthening the community and economy. The Carlos Rosario School uses a three-pronged approach: 1) foundational skills, including ESOL, literacy, and high school diploma equivalency, along with computer literacy and citizenship; 2) career certification training in high-growth, high-demand sectors; and 3) comprehensive supports for student persistence. All services are provided in ways that are linguistically and culturally appropriate.
This case study highlights the Carlos Rosario School's remote ESOL program design during COVID and student onboarding and persistence supports. It also highlights teachers' approaches, including their curriculum process chart, digital learning and supports for children's basic needs, among others, while also providing indicators for effectiveness.
World Education strives to build lasting relationships with partners across diverse geographic regions and technical sectors to produce better education outcomes for all.
