One of the highlights of the Pilar Barbosa Program is visiting different schools in the Washington, D.C. and speaking with teachers, administrators and students about what they do well. One of the schools that we will be visiting this year, Bell Multicultural School just ranked 37th in Newsweek's ranking of the best High Schools in the US.
Bell Multicultural is a part of the District of Columbia Public Schools. Students there are required to take classes in either Spanish or French with the goal of becoming proficient in that language. All the students are required to take two Advanced Placement classes—one in English literature and one in English language—during their time at Bell. Some students also spend part of their school day taking classes at the University of the District of Columbia in pursuit of simultaneously graduating with both a high school degree and an associates degree.
