Culture and Language

BJTELA is revitalizing the Lushootseed Language and Culture by bringing our cultural way of life back to our children and families through our classroom activities and our special cultural days.

Curriculum

BJTELA not only offers a quality academic and social/emotional educational experience for children from birth to five, but also provides numerous services that support and strengthen the well-being of children and families.

Music Classes

Formerly known as the Everett Symphony, the Snohomish County Music Project has provided music services to Everett since 1982.

Our academy children and families will be engaged in the culturally rich Lushootseed language to develop strong cultural values and traditions through classroom and family engagement opportunities. Academic success will be achieved through home and school experiences in Lushootseed language, cultural values, and participation in evidence–based curriculum resulting in every child being healthy, capable, and confident in school, life, and cultural identity.
