The New America School

I chose this website probably because of it's name (that's the first reason) and then because of the little descriptions talking about the American Dream. Isn't it amazing that a school says that they can help young immigrants fulfill their American Dream ?

The New America School is actually a whole system of public schools that helps immigrants with English language and giving them, to their eyes, a good education. The locations of the schools are chosen in relation to the need (so where there are most immigrants).

De Crevecouer said that in America people were free and equal. These schools want to give the possibility to immigrants to get an education and a better knowledge of the language, giving them the opportunity to be equal to all other citizens (they are not illiterate and understand the language). And by having a good education that means they can enter higher education and compete for better jobs that what they would have got without any education.

And also, by understanding the language and getting an education similar to the one a non-immigrant American would get, that encourages them to be part of the society, not excluded and so be rightly assimilated.
