About CarABE

The Carolina Association for Bilingual Education (CarABE) was incorporated in 2023 as a 501(c)3 nonprofit educational organization. We are a group of dedicated educators, leaders, teacher educators, researchers, family members, and students who are committed to high quality bilingual education, academic and language learning, and promoting bilingualism in the Carolinas.

CarABE is an affiliate of the National Association for Bilingual Education.

CarABE works to advance bilingual education in North and South Carolina and advocate for educational equity and excellence for bilingual and multilingual students in a global society.
