Once dreaming of a Hebrew charter school, now only Mandarin is offered

Jonah Lowenfeld September 27, 2012

When the Albert Einstein Academy for Letters, Arts and Sciences (AEA) opened in August 2010, part of the draw for parents was the chance for students at the Santa Clarita charter middle and high school to study Hebrew.

Among the changes in the newest version was eliminating offering Hebrew at the school, at least initially.
