Korean DLI

Dual Language Immersion is a unique educational model where children learn to think, read, write and communicate naturally in two languages: English and Korean. Native Korean and native English speaking students study together, beginning in kindergarten through 6th grade, to be biliterate in both languages. DLI Information Meetings available all year long upon request. Please contact the school principal for more information!

Parent Partnership:
Consistent parent engagement significantly impacts students’ academic and social success

Program Model

80:20 – The first number ‘80’ refers to the percentage of instructional time initially spent for instruction in the target language (Korean) in Kindergarten. The second number ‘20’ refers to English. In our 80:20 model, the amount of the target language decreases yearly as English increases until there is a 50:50 balance of the languages generally in grades four through six.
