Program Model

Students are instructed throughout the day in three different groupings and two different environments. Each grade level has two teachers: an English-dominant teacher and a Spanish-dominant teacher. Throughout the day students interact in both environments.
Benefits of this teaching/learning model include:

• Students will develop strong skills in their native language while acquiring a second language
• Students and families interact and form friendships, promoting cultural diversity
• Teaching model is research-based and proven to be successful
• Continuing staff development
• Opportunity for success in two languages
• Differentiated instruction in both languages
• Scaffolded and sheltered lessons incorporating the most successful research-based principles
• Bilingualism offers many opportunities for the FUTURE!

The Dual Immersion Academy will fulfill its mission in collaboration with all families, students, and faculty. Parents must be willing to offer:

• Support of the Mission
• Support of second language acquisition at home
• Involvement in school activities and PTA
• Clear communication between home and teachers
• Volunteering in the classroom
• Strong initiative to stay informed
• Your child's consistent and punctual attendance
