State & District Partnerships for Newcomer and English Language Learner Programs

How We Can Help

Every district is different. The students are different. The resources are different. The challenges are different.

We get that. That's why we don't offer a one-size-fits-all solution. We work with districts, schools, and education leaders to figure out what you actually need, then build from there.

Whether you're looking for targeted training for your staff or a full school partnership serving refugee and immigrant students, we have a way to work together.

Teranga Academy

Some districts are ready for something bigger. Teranga Academy is a full school partnership that brings Fugees Family's model directly into your community, serving refugee and immigrant students with a program designed around their specific needs.

Teranga Academy partnerships give districts a proven approach to serving multilingual learners at scale, with curriculum, staffing support, and community engagement built in from day one.

ASU Virtual Learning Pilot

Not every district can support in-person programming for every student who needs it. The ASU Virtual Learning Pilot, built in partnership with Arizona State University, gives English Language Learners access to high-quality instruction no matter where they are.

This is a new program, and we're working with districts to shape what it looks like. If you're interested in learning more, we'd love to talk.
