With no silver bullet, innovation abounds at this bilingual high school – The Hechinger Report
The Margarita Muñiz Academy is the first dual language high school and an Innovation School of the Boston Public Schools. Muñiz Academy opened September, 2012! We are located at 20 Child Street in Jamaica Plain.
Muñiz Academy is dedicated to preparing citizens and leaders who are fluent in English and Spanish. Every student will be ready for college and will contribute to the community and beyond. Muñiz Academy partners with families and community to realize our mission together.
Changing Boston
For their final project, the seniors put together a map of “Changing Boston.”
It’s an interactive crowdsource map where each student pinned a place in Boston relevant to their proposal, along with a representative image, a quick blurb, and their PSA videos (in English or Spanish). Here is the link to the work in progress:
