Opening Doors to Bright Futures with Bilingual Learning
Our Highline Dual Language program is about more than language learning. It celebrates the rich cultures students bring to the classroom and helps them excel in school. Multicultural skills enable students to live, work, and communicate across cultures.
The program brings together students who are native speakers of English, Spanish, Vietnamese, and other languages. Students from all backgrounds thrive in an environment where instruction is 50% in English and 50% in either Spanish or Vietnamese.
Highline offers dual language at six of our elementary schools and six secondary schools.
Research shows that being bilingual is good for the brain and helps students do better in school. Dual Language programs help students understand different cultures and build skills to succeed in today’s world.
For many family members, the program is a way for their children to stay connected to their heritage. For others, the program opens doors to different cultures and broadens their children’s own worldview and opportunities. Highline’s Dual Language program is innovative, inclusive and free.
