Bilingual Proficiency
A Priceless Resource
The dual language proficiency that is offered to Escuela Popular Students is a priceless resource that provides children with the self-confidence to believe that they can, indeed, succeed as students. This belief motivates students to continue their careers as life long learners. And ultimately, their linguistic aptitude increases their marketability, and therefore salary potential, in the California workforce. A bilingual individual contributes many skills beyond that of speaking another language. A bilingual individual can more easily adapt to new situations, appreciate opposing views and navigate in a growing global society where knowing more than one language has become the norm. The Dual Language Academy currently serves grades kinder to eight.
