“Eu aprendi inglês aqui. Mas encontrei muito mais do que isso.” 🤍
Conheça a Leticia, uma das nossas ex-alunas. Ela chegou aos Estados Unidos carregando tudo o que a gente carrega quando deixa sua casa - a esperança, a incerteza, a distância de quem a gente mais ama.
Na High Expectations, ela aprendeu inglês. Mas ela vai te dizer que não é dessa parte que ela mais se lembra.
Pra todo mundo assistindo — aluno ou não, imigrante ou não — compartilha a sua história com a gente. Deixa nos comentários, ou manda uma DM. Agora, mais do que nunca, a gente precisa se apoiar. É isso que é comunidade.

Home isn’t always a place.
Meet Leticia, one of our alumni. She came to the U.S. carrying everything you carry when you leave home - the hope, the uncertainty, the distance from the people you love most.
At High Expectations, she learned English. But she’ll tell you that’s not the part she remembers most.
We’re here to teach you English. But we’re also here for the days when English isn’t what you need.
To everyone watching - student or not, immigrant or not - share your story with us. Drop it in the comments, or send us a DM.
Right now, more than ever, we need to stick together. That’s what community is.

Na High Expectations, ela aprendeu inglês. Mas ela vai te dizer que não é dessa parte que ela mais se lembra.
Quando o momento mais difícil da vida dela chegou — aquele tipo de perda que faz o mundo ficar em silêncio — ela não estava sozinha. Seus professores estavam ali. Seus colegas estavam ali. A comunidade que ela nem sabia que estava construindo estava ali.
É isso que queremos dizer quando falamos que a High Expectations é um lar longe de casa. Estamos aqui pra te ensinar inglês. Mas também estamos aqui pros dias em que inglês não é o que você precisa.

Last session, Tom’s B2 Class visited Bread of Life Malden to deliver donated goods from our food donation drive and to learn more about Bread of Life’s mission to support individuals and families in need.
With freezing temperatures and recent snowstorms creating added challenges for many, access to food and basic necessities is more important than ever. We are proud of our students for taking the time to learn, give back, and engage with the community in a meaningful way.
A heartfelt thank you to all of the students who donated - your generosity and kindness truly make a difference. We are grateful to be part of such a caring and diverse community.
Happy Holidays from High Expectations! 🎄✨
Wishing our students and teachers a season full of joy, rest, and happiness ❤️💛
See you in the new year! 🥂
