“Thomas Edison is an excellent school whose curve is on the way up. The dual immersion program is Outstanding with dedicated teachers and program staff. The campus itself is top notch -- the library (just first rate), computer center, science room, et cetera. Parent support is strong, and the Family Center has lots of parent volunteers every day. This school is wonderful, and we are so glad our child is a student here.”

“Edison offers a unique opportunity with its dual immersion Spanish/English program. This is the first program in Glendale Unified and enrollment is open to all GUSD students. Dedicated bilingual teachers provide standards-based instruction. The goals of the program are: * To develop fluency and literacy in two languages: English & Spanish * To ensure academic excellence that meets or exceeds District and State Standards * To cultivate understanding and appreciation of other cultures and to strengthen positive attitudes towards their peers, their families and community.”
