WHAT IS DLI?
DLI programs offer students a unique way to learn two languages and other academic content at an age when their brains are more flexible to learning.
Start at the beginning of school (Kindergarten)
Progress throughout the school years with the same classmates.
Spend 50% of day learning in English and the other 50% learning in Spanish.
Students typically are fluent in the second language by the end of elementary school.
Brain research and outcomes of DLI programs have shown students have many advantages:
Plasticity in young brains makes language learning very easy.
Dual language students have better test scores and typically develop higher IQs.
Dual language students learn subsequent languages more easily.
Transferring knowledge in all contents is not affected by learning other languages.
