Dual Language Immersion Program

This Pre-K-1st Grade program is New Orleans’ first and only 50/50 dual-language immersion programs, and next year it grows to Pre-K – 2nd Grade. In a 50/50 dual language immersion program, students spend half of their time learning in English and half of their time learning in Spanish.

SCHOOL TOURS:

To introduce our Dual Language Immersion program to prospective families, we are holding school tours on select days at 9AM between November- January.
