The school is now an “A” rated school and the district has renewed its commitment to excellence at Balere. The school will be open as usual this school year. There is an emboldened sense of excitement and energy in sustaining our A school profile.” said Rocka Malik, the schools founder. “We are Stevie Wonder overjoyed with the hard-work that students and staff put in last year and it’s proof that hard-work and determination always pays off, always”, she added.
Balere is once again on track to fulfilling its mission statement and providing a strong education to its students through certified teachers and its strong bilingual curriculum.
The school offers its students perks like free Saturday morning tutoring and an extended learning day (8am to 3:30pm).
