Escuela Popular is a family learning center that serves Pre K-12 children and adults who are seeking a high school diploma. Escuela Popular was founded by Lidia Reguerin -- an educator of over 50 years of experience.
We believe teaching is an act of love; therefore, we work to liberate and empower participants for self-determination. Love is an inward development of compassion and the capacity to believe unconditionally in self and others.
The majority of our staff is reflective of the student body. Accordingly, Escuela Popular provides a smooth transition in what is often a new culture for students.

Believing that learning is social and connected, we have established interdependent academies:
Escuela Popular Childcare Academy’s mission is to stimulate the different areas of a child’s development. Its curriculum was inspired by Waldorf’s pedagogy, which uses teaching methods that seek to build a balance between the children’s intellect, imagination, and will. The purpose is to prepare children to reach maturity in all aspects.
The dual language proficiency that is offered to Escuela Popular students is a priceless resource that provides children with the self-confidence to believe that they can, indeed, succeed as students. This belief motivates students to continue their careers as life long learners. A bilingual individual contributes many skills beyond that of speaking another language.
Escuela Popular’s High School Academy under 19 provides intensive English Language Development so that students are able to meet their goal of graduating bilingual and biliterate. Students benefit from the individual attention afforded by a 20:1 student-to-teacher ratio.
Escuela Popular's Center for Training and Careers (EP/CTC) serves several groups of over 19 students. Escuela Popular seeks to serve the community in the best way possible. The overwhelming majority of our students are primarily Spanish speaking.
Vision
Escuela Popular Educates to Transform Lives.
