BLCI – Barrio Logan is the heart of the institute and serves 200 students as well as college-enrolled alumni. At this site, we test out new curriculum and theories which are then introduced to other sites. The majority of our families at this location are bilingual, Spanish and English, as well as first generation immigrants. We serve 20 students per grade from 3rd through 12th with support to alumni all the way through college graduation.  

Students served come from 65 schools throughout San Diego County.
