Dual Language

Southwest Public Schools celebrated a milestone this month with ribbon-cutting ceremonies to launch dual language programs at the Visual and Performing Arts Academy and the International Leadership Academy. These programs aim to foster bilingualism, biliteracy, and sociocultural competence, supporting emergent bilingual students in an inclusive learning environment. Anne Leal, Chief of Special Populations, emphasized the initiative's importance, stating it equips students with the skills needed to succeed in a multilingual world.
