Over the years, we have been able to help African Americans and Hispanics overcome social and economic barriers as well as educational deficiencies. While language is another barrier many students encounter, gang behavior, physical confrontations, teen pregnancies, drugs and learning disabilities add to the characteristics of the students AWEC serves. Mission The Aurora Weier Bilingual High School provides high and realistic expectations that all students can learn in a positive working environment, so that students will achieve success and raise their self-esteem. Students will be exposed to a variety of learning opportunities which include classroom instruction, work experience with a strong school to work focus, field trips, community activities and special events. These experiences will give students a better opportunity to live safe, healthy and productive lives.
Students develop the ability to work cooperatively within the context of cultural diversity.
Teachers are enablers and facilitators of their students, colleagues, parents and the community. Everyone working together, with respect for individual and cultural differences, accomplishes all school goals. The emphasis of this program is to have a challenging and engaging curriculum coupled with the development of self-directed learning skills in our students. They will be guided through the use of a diversified instructional delivery system in the acquisition of basic reading, writing, computational and computer skills. Students will also be exposed to a qualitative and enticing integrated curriculum in the social sciences, history, health, mathematics, and language arts.
