Mission

Claremont Immersion commits to all students achieving academic success in two languages. Arlington Public Schools instills a love of learning in its students and prepares them to be responsible and productive global citizens.

Vision

Claremont Immersion students are bilingual, global citizens, caring and kind team players, effective communicators, independent problem solvers, and persistent, life-long learners.

Arlington Public Schools is a diverse and inclusive school community, committed to academic excellence and integrity. We provide instruction in a caring, safe, and healthy learning environment, responsive to each student, in collaboration with families and the community.
