ABOUT IMMSCHOOLS
WHO WE ARE
ImmSchools was founded in 2018 by
two immigrant sisters with more than 20 years of combined experience as educators working at the intersection of immigration and education. Our initial vision for ImmSchools was simple: to support more educators in creating safe and welcoming spaces in schools that we and our families wished we had when we were students.
Today, ImmSchools partners with school districts to create more welcoming and safe schools to meet the needs of K-12 immigrant students, their families and educators.
ImmSchools specifically serves schools in California, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Texas, which are among the states and urban regions with the largest populations of immigrants.
ABOUT OUR LOGO
The ImmSchools logo calls to mind the Monarch butterfly which migrates yearly from Canada to Mexico and has become a powerful symbol for the movement for rights of all immigrants within the U.S. Our logo features ties this symbol with books as wings, linking education to the power of flight and to this human rights issue.
