A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRINCIPAL

Dear Families,

I’m excited that you are interested in learning more about the Dual Language Academy. It is our desire to shape confident, compassionate leaders who serve God and others. We do this through a bilingual curriculum that helps students develop into biliterate learners and prepares them for success in a changing world. Students also have many opportunities to develop their relationship with Christ through school Masses and other celebrations of the Catholic faith. 

Our school community is unique, that’s for sure. I invite you to explore all that the DLA has to offer. Contact us to tour anytime and see firsthand how our approach helps students reach their fullest potential. We look forward to welcoming your family into our growing community!

Angie Smith, Principal 

"What a great option for those who wish to give their kids a step up in language learning while maintaining a connection to the Catholic faith and exceptional academics! We are so glad to be able to have our son get extra support in his Spanish language development apart from what we give him at home and we can’t wait for our other children to attend in the future."

Sarah Vázquez

"I am bilingual and I want my children to speak both Spanish and English. Since starting at the Dual Language academy, my son has increased his vocabulary in both languages and I could not be more proud! Additionally, the faculty is warm and welcoming to the children. My favorite part is that they also teach traditions from my culture."

Tania Murrell

"We have really appreciated the Dual language Academy for our boys! We love that they are receiving an excellent education, learning Spanish and being supported in their faith journey!"

Kathleen Carlson

"Una opción muy buena para los que quieren dar a sus hijos la oportunidad de avanzar más en su español y también mantener contacto con la fe católica y un desarrollo académico excepcional. Hablamos español en casa, pero estamos muy contentos de que nuestro hijo pueda estar apoyado en el idioma español en la escuela también y esperamos mandar a nuestros otros hijos a la Academia en el futuro."
