We are proud to open a new school, The Dual Language Academy—where students learn to read, write and speak in both English and Spanish! All children from the tri-state area are welcome to enroll.

Educational research shows that students who know two languages enjoy stronger academic success, a more stimulating school experience, and growing future opportunities.

Students are able to…
• Better multitask
• Have a longer attention span
• Adapt better to changes in an environment
• Develop a positive global awareness
• Enjoy more opportunities in college and careers

We opened our doors with one preschool and one kindergarten class for the 2019-2020 school year, and now we're expanding into a second site, Epiphany!
