What is the Dual Language Program?

Our Dual Language Program is designed to provide English speaking and Spanish Speaking students an exciting, enriching, and challenging educational opportunity for 21st century learning. Students will learn to collaborate, communicate and think critically in all academic content areas in both Spanish and English. By the end of twelfth grade, students will have obtained the bilingual skills and multicultural competencies needed to succeed in our global society and economy.
 

Goals and Benefits:

•Develop high levels of proficiency in English and Spanish.

•Ensure academic excellence in the two languages

•Cultivate an understanding and appreciation of other cultures and strengthen positive connections among students, their families, and the greater global community.

•Develop flexibility in thinking through problem solving, conceptualizing, and reasoning in two languages.

•Empower parents to actively participate in their child’s education.
