Preparing Your Child For The Future While Celebrating
Who They Are.

You’ve done everything to help your child succeed- but it still feels like you’re choosing between their culture and their future.

At CSE, we believe you shouldn’t have to choose. We nurture both.

Here, your child is seen, supported, and prepared.

They’ll learn to lead—in English and Hmong.

And they’ll do it in a place that feels like home.

This isn’t just school.

It’s a community that supports you and your child every step
of the way.

College-Ready. Culture-Rich.

Our School Speaks to Your Child—in English, Hmong, and Mandarin

CSE Continues to GROW.

"Our families are seeking to place their children in our school because they feel that we are delivering what they want and expect for their children's educational and cultural experiences."

ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE

That means stronger reading, writing, and speaking skills in every subject.

Our students don’t just memorize—they think, create, and lead.

From math to science to public speaking, we teach with high expectations and real-world tools.

And when your child needs help, we don’t wait—we step in early and often.

This is more than academics.

It’s confidence. It’s preparation.
It’s belonging.

Your Child Deserves More Than The Basics

Multilingual education so that your child feels proud and capable, which means they’ll succeed without sacrificing identity.

A responsive and attentive team so that your schedule is respected, which means you don’t have to choose between work and your child’s future.

Culturally reflective staff so that you feel seen and understood, which means you’re not alone in this journey.

Academic support in every subject so that your child never falls behind, which means peace of mind for you—and progress for them.

—every step of the way.
