the addalingua difference

Over the past decade, we’ve heard enough stories from our partner schools to know that addalingua programs are changing lives. Our dual language immersion programs do more than prepare students for academic and linguistic success in two languages. They do more than scratch the surface of another culture.

addalingua programs inspire global empathy through education in two languages, helping students recognize their own value as they discover the value in others.

addalingua frameworks help everything connect.

The addalingua frameworks that we utilize in this program are the base; they're what help us connect everything, not only the new words that they use, but also grammar components, etc. This helps students maintain thinking on the language focus, while they focus on content goals.
