Testimonials

I give the Xinachtli Project approaches a solid E: they enrich, engross, and enthrall our students in two languages. Besides the positive experience of history, we have been able to utilize the content and process in our math, science, and language arts.

It's incredible how the different elements of the Aztec Calendar integrate concepts in all subject areas including, amazingly, the mathematical concept of pi and fractal geometry.

Both my daughters have benefited from Xinachtli. Not only have they have learned about their culture, but discovered different and exciting ways to look at the world. I stand behind what Mr. Aceves is doing with his cultural project in the classroom.

Mr. Aceves teaches what could safely pass for a holistic, multicultural approach, but it goes deeper by allowing his students to experience culture as something that is dynamic and interdisciplinary with a nurturing and egalitarian worldview that places their history within a universal context where being part of an ethnic group is a reflection-not separation-of their humanity.
