Our Vision
Northside K-8 School is committed to providing a safe, caring, stimulating learning environment where students develop socially, emotionally, and achieve academic success.
Our Mission
Our mission is to cultivate a community of collaboration dedicated to increasing student achievement through positive relationships, high expectations, and rigorous differentiated instruction.
Participating in a dual-language program provides a unique and powerful opportunity to strengthen a child's brain and help them reach their highest potential through literacy development in two languages and authentic exposure to rich language experiences.
A multilingual brain is quicker, nimbler, and more resistant to Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia. Children will spend time focusing, remembering, and making decisions.
Students in dual language programs consistently outperform monolingual peers on state-mandated tests, regardless of demographic. Dual language programs help improve understanding of math concepts and problems and increase reading comprehension.
Bilingual adults have several advantages over monolingual adults, including higher average salaries and greater career opportunities. Bilingual adults also have greater levels of cultural awareness.
At Northside K-8 we utilize curricula, training, and materials from the EiE program to implement engineering and computer science in the classroom. This helps us to build a standards-aligned STEM foundation for our youngest learners, open up exciting new career paths and possibilities to our students, and implement hands-on engineering in the classroom.

Engineering and Computer Science create the space for equity in our classrooms—naturally. Our hands-on design challenges all with multiple, unique solutions, stories set in different countries, impactful Resources for Diverse Learners and a “teacher as facilitator” model, level the playing field for all learners.
Habits of mind are the thoughts and actions that people use to navigate work, school, and life. By using EiE’s STEM Habits of Mind as a framework for how our learners feel, think, and do help our students to become problem-solvers in the making.
The Engineering Design Process is a practical approach to problem solving that applies to all subjects, not just engineering and computer science! Engineers and computer scientists often start in the middle or end of the process, and they may repeat steps as they design a technology. Failure is part of the process. And, learning from failure is an integral part of making successful engineering designs and computer programs.
EiE has reimagined our proven out-of-school time STEM curriculum, Engineering Adventures and Engineering Everywhere, as virtual offerings to provide new learning pathways that blend online instruction and collaboration with engaging, hands-on minds-on learning.
Engineering leverages science, mathematics, and technology connections to help students learn more deeply; to see STEM as more relevant to their lives; and to help students move toward future STEM career pathways. EiE's new Engineering and Computer Science Essentials: An Integrated Program brings together engineering and computer science to promote curiosity, discovery, and STEM literacy.
