By 2025, one quarter of America’s public school population will be English language learners, coming from refugee and immigrant backgrounds.
Like all students, these newcomers are full of potential – but our education system fails to set them up for success.
Fugees Family is the only network of schools in the US dedicated to refugees and immigrants.

"I grew up with a mom who didn’t speak English perfectly...I feel like that’s a gift. I can connect to children because I remember the feelings they’re going through, and how it forms a person." - June, Teranga Academy Teacher💚 ![]()
