Dual Language Academy Empowers Multilingual Learning
With the growing number of multilingual learners in the state of New Jersey, dual language programming supports students in maintaining their home language of Spanish/English as they acquire a second language. With very few New Jersey school districts offering dual language programs, NPSD has a unique opportunity to act as a role model in the area.
