Nestor Language Academy Charter opened in 2010 for students in grades Kindergarten through seventh. The school offers a curriculum based upon dual languages. The school strives for an understanding of culture, languages and multiple perspectives for students to see the world in every light. The school offers core subjects that are geared to a bilingual perspective. This not only teaches students a new language, but also gives the students a look at the world and its differences. This is a valuable tool for school, work and community.

The school focuses on academics and does not offer sports, activities, or student clubs, which is a huge disappointment for students.
