Parents:
We work to promote additive bilingualism. We believe that a student's first language should continue to be developed throughout his/her school career. We encourage the development of listening, speaking, reading and writing skills in the home language. Our desire is that your child maintains and/or develops their home language while learning English. Do not be afraid to teach your child your native language. There are many benefits to being bilingual!
