To increase academic choices and opportunities for students, the Allentown School District is excited to open a Dual Language Immersion Academy this fall! Located at the Midway Manor Campus, the Dual Language Immersion Academy is a unique pre-kindergarten through fifth-grade theme-based learning experience where students will learn in English and Spanish. The school's goal is for students to become proficient in both languages. The Dual Language Immersion Academy will prepare students for life in a multilingual world through daily engagement and opportunities to learn and develop proficiency in both Spanish and English. In the first year, the Dual Language Immersion Academy will begin with Pre-Kindergarten through first grade and expand to fifth grade in the coming years.
