IRS990/Desc0THE 2018-2019 SCHOOL YEAR WAS OUR FIFTH YEAR OF OPERATION. DURING THIS YEAR WE SERVED 6TH GRADE WITH 84 STUDENTS, 7TH GRADE WITH 86 STUDENTS, 8TH GRADE WITH 84 STUDENTS, 9TH GRADE WITH 89 STUDENTS, AND 10TH GRADE WITH 75 STUDENTS. OUR MISSION HAS ALWAYS BEEN CENTRAL TO OUR FOCUS AS WE DEVELOP ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE IN BOTH SPANISH AND ENGLISH, PREPARING OUR MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS TO EXCEL IN COLLEGE. IN SCHOOL YEAR 18-19 WE CONCENTRATED ON CULTIVATING A HIGHLY QUALIFIED TEACHING STAFF, IMPROVING OUR STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES AS WELL AS FINE-TUNING A SUPPORTIVE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT. WE CONTINUED A SUCCESSFUL AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAM THAT INCLUDED HOMEWORK HELP, ROBOTICS, MUSIC, SOCCER, SCIENCE OLYMPIAD, GIRLS ON THE RUN, CHESS AND AN AWARD-WINNING DEBATE TEAM. WE CONTINUED OFFERING AFTER SCHOOL PARENT WORKSHOPS AND BUILDING A STRONG COMMUNITY THROUGH REGULAR MONTHLY MEETINGS WITH PARENTS AND THE PRINCIPAL CALLED "CAFECITO CON LA DIRECTORA." IN ADDITION, DURING THE 2018-2019 SCHOOL YEAR THE SCHOOL SUCCESSFULLY EXPANDED INTO 10TH GRADE. AS PREVIOUSLY INDICATED, OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL CAMPUS COULD NOT ACCOMMODATE THE ADDITIONAL HIGH SCHOOL GRADES. AS A RESULT, ADS IS NOW A SPLIT CAMPUS SCHOOL WITH HIGH SCHOOL GRADES IN TEMPORARY, PRIVATE SPACE A FEW BLOCKS AWAY FROM OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL. ADS HAS PARTNERED WITH HIGHMARK SCHOOL DEVELOPMENT TO BUILD A PERMANENT CAMPUS FOR OUR HIGH SCHOOL.
