Japanese Dual Language Program
The Japanese Dual Language Immersion Program welcomes students from a variety of language backgrounds. Dual language offers students a chance to add another language at the optimal age for language learning. Program instruction is systematically delivered in both English and Japanese languages. Students read, write, listen and speak in both languages becoming bilingual, biliterate and bicultural while working towards grade level academic achievement.
Students who join the program while they are young have the ability to gain language ability faster and develop language skills similar to a native learner. Language learning at a young age increases cognitive development and allows for deeper levels of understanding which may lead to greater success in university language courses and employment opportunities. Language skills open the door to other countries, cultures and people.
