Why Dual Language?
Brain Development
Children easily pick up languages. Schoolwide use of two allows children to learn both, naturally!
Brain scans show that becoming bilingual improves brain structure and function.
Attention and Focus
Bilingual people of all ages are able to focus better than people who speak only one language.
Test Scores and Lifelong Learning
Students who learn a second language score higher on all subject and language tests, even when tested in English!
Children will retain their good accent and grammar, making future language classes easier.
The better students become in a second language, the higher their ACT and SAT scores in all subjects.
