Principal's Corner
Beth Wylie | Charter Director
Beth began her work at Fuente Nueva as a parent volunteer when her oldest son enrolled in the first kindergarten class. As the school developed, Beth designed and implemented an Extended Day program. In 2005 she became the “lead petitioner” for Fuente Nueva’s Charter Petition and later accepted the position of the Charter Director.
Upon earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in Elementary Education from Millersville University, Beth gained her Pennsylvania teaching credential in 1992. After experiencing the constraints of the public education system, Beth left the classroom and worked for several years in a non-profit mental health services agency. After her three children were born, she dedicated herself to the role of stay-at-home mother.
When Beth joined the Fuente Nueva team in the role of Charter Director she gained valuable on the job experience as an administrator. Since her start at FNCS, Beth has gained her California Teaching Credential, authorization to teach English language learners, school business manager and finance training, and the all-important Certificate of Achievement from the Charter School Leadership Boot Camp through the Charter School Development Center.

At Fuente Nueva, we offer a full Spanish immersion program. Students learn a second language
by studying all core content areas in Spanish. Lessons are supported with teaching strategies
that enable students to build their language skills while also mastering the objectives of the
lesson. English is formally introduced in second grade with four hours of instruction a week. The
amount of formal English instruction increases as the students matriculate through the
grades. Students gain a strong foundation in their second language by learning to read and
write in Spanish first. To read extensive information about our immersion program see the area
on our website entitled, “What is Immersion Education”.
