What is Dual Language?

grabbingstarskids

Dual Language is a model of bilingual education that fosters bilingualism, biculturalism, and biliteracy while promoting the highest levels of academic achievement in both English and Spanish. Unlike traditional “bilingual” programs, dual language programs are considered additive or enrichment programs (like Gifted and Talented) because all students learn academic content in two languages instead of being pressured to use only English.
