The mission of the Bilingual Program is to preserve our students' heritage (linguistically and culturally), while expanding their skills and knowledge in order to achieve full integration individually and socially within the mosaic of a global culture.

Vision

 

The Bilingual Program's vision is based on the premise that students are innovative and resourceful learners. They will acculturate into a system that validates and promotes their self-worth while expanding their knowledge into an English environment within our global society. Our students will certainly be able to compete with their peers both near and far.

Objectives

 

  • Sustain high levels of academic and linguistic proficiency in both English and the home language(s).
  • Provide sound pedagogical practices for teaching multilingual students.
  • Equip students with a multisensory experience for fluency in all language domains.
  • Provide opportunities for social cultural connections within the home-school community.
