Job DescriptionThe mission of ICA is to integrate the diverse languages and cultures of the communities we serve by teaching all students in two languages—in Spanish and English or in Portuguese and English—and helping children develop an appreciation of other cultures. Children learn to work collaboratively from their multiple experiences and backgrounds, striving towards high standards of academic achievement. Everyone is part of a community of learners, engaging in inquiry about the world, themselves, and others.

English and Spanish or English and Portuguese. They participate as members of a community of learners and are reflective. They contribute as members of a collaborative work environment. They build on the assets of their students and foster an environment free of bias, prejudice and bullying.
