Dual Language Program at Adelaide Lee Elementary - Coming Fall 2026!
-
At Adelaide Lee Elementary, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to thrive in a bilingual world. Our Dual Language Academy will offer a unique educational experience, where students learn in both English and Spanish, equipping them with the skills they need to succeed in a global society.
Dual Language education is an innovative approach to learning where students are taught in two languages, in this case, English and Spanish. The goal is to provide students with the opportunity to become proficient in both languages, while also mastering core academic subjects.
In a dual language program, instruction is delivered in both languages across different subjects such as math, science, literacy, and social studies. Over time, students gradually develop the ability to read, write, speak, and understand both languages fluently.
The dual language model benefits all students, whether they are native speakers of one of the languages or just beginning to learn. It fosters a deeper understanding of different cultures and perspectives while strengthening cognitive skills like problem-solving, critical thinking, and creativity. Ultimately, dual language education prepares students to become global citizens, ready to navigate an increasingly interconnected world.
