Won't my child have trouble understanding the teacher?

No. Our bilingual teachers use specific techniques to make sure every child understands and is able to participate. Amazingly, over the course of the first two or three months students absorb enough of the new language to start using it.  Although their active vocabulary is still very small, children will be able to understand most verbal communication.

How long is the school day?

The length of the school day varies depending on a child’s age and program. Schedules are designed to be developmentally appropriate for each age group.

What about the transition to another school?

Research indicates that bilingual experiences promote cognitive growth and academic readiness across learning environments.

Will there be instruction in English?

Spanish is the primary language used for instruction, creating a strong immersion environment.

Where is the school located?

The school is at 5700 Far Hills Ave. Dayton, OH 45429
