Dual Language

P.S. 20 is proud to announce its Dual Language Enrichment Program.

Our uniqueness is what makes our community so beautiful. Bi-Literacy and bi-culturalism is a gift we can offer the children of today to help them excel throughout their lives.

Dual Language classes receive Standard driven instruction in two languages. The goal of the program is to produce bilingual and bi-literate children. Our program is founded on valuing both languages and cultures equally to grow children who can speak, read, write and learn in English and Spanish and celebrate the cultural achievements, traditions and values of their backgrounds.
