At Hoboken Dual Language Charter School, students receive their studies in both Spanish and English and become bilingual citizens who see their community as part of the bigger world. Recognized as a model dual language program by the New Jersey Department of Education, HoLa teaches students invaluable cognitive and problem-solving skills. It utilizes a well-established immersion approach to dual language education and incorporates a range of opportunities for creative expression and experiential learning while exploring individual passions. Initially welcoming students from kindergarten through second grade, HoLa has grown every year and graduated its first eighth-grade class in 2017, seven years after opening its doors. Today, HoLa graduates are admitted to some of the best public, private and magnet schools in Hudson County and the region. The school offers a variety of after-school programs and has an Aftercare program where students can complete homework and engage in different activities. HoLa Aventuras is a summer camp that the school hosts that welcomes all children and explores the beauty of Latin American culture and history.
