College Bound Dual Language Academy
 
Kyrene de los Niños
 
 
Languages are best learned at an early age

Kyrene provides additional learning opportunities and choices for families because of the unique talents and needs our students possess. We understand there are various models for learning. The innovative dual language program provides kindergarten and first grade students with literacy and content in both English and Spanish based on 50/50 daily instruction of all subjects in both languages. Early dual language learning promotes bilingualism, academic achievement, and multicultural competence. Students benefit both socially and cognitively; develop greater non-verbal problem solving abilities; and more flexible thinking.

“Hearing your child speak and read a foreign language is priceless. Learning Spanish so young will offer positive life-long effects for our daughter.”
 
“For us, the Dual Language program supports exactly what we encourage in our home and emphasizes the importance of developing skills for a second language in conjunction with their education. We are very excited that this type of learning environment is not short term but will continue on for six years!”
