The APSWC was established in 2015 with the goals of assisting refugee and immigrant students and their families with adjusting to APS schools and increasing the academic success of refugee and immigrant students through targeted programming. The APSWC is privileged to work with the diverse students comprising the APS population, who speak over 130 different languages.
Team Core Value
Our job is to accelerate learning for every APS student, every day.
We do our job by assisting refugee and immigrant families new to the country and new to Aurora Public Schools, and supporting their students as they transition into our schools.
Our community needs us to do our job.
