About Uni Hill

Testimonials

“Choosing bilingual education was one of the greatest things my parents did for me. Being bilingual helped me to get into the college of my choice and land a great summer job. There are amazing people in my life who probably wouldn’t be there had I not been able to speak their language.”
Max Peterson, 19, freshman at University of British Columbia, Vancouver

“Being in a dual-language program has enriched my kids’ lives through the language and culture. Speaking two languages gives them the opportunity to be twice as successful. Socially, they are able to navigate two worlds. Being bilingual also opens their minds and expands their brains’ ability to work. It has been beautiful to see my kids become bilingual.”
Blanca Mejias, parent

“At Uni Hill, students must meet the same academic standards and requirements that exist in every other public school in Boulder. The difference is that Uni Hill students learn content in a culturally diverse environment while developing bilingualism. Our children do what children in other Boulder Valley Schools do--but they can do it in two languages.”
Debbie Valette, parent and BVSD educator

“I am thrilled to have my children at Uni Hill. We all gain as a community when we are able to recognize, acknowledge, respect, and celebrate the richness of our diversity. I am eternally grateful and deeply indebted to the wonderful people at Uni Hill for modeling this for my children on a daily basis.”
Martha Gustafson, Principal at Manhattan Middle School of Arts and Academics
