Dual Language Immersion for Early Childhood
Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic School is a proud member of the Boston College Two-Way Immersion Network for Catholic Schools - one of only two Catholic schools in New York State to partner with the prestigious Boston College network.
As of September of 2022, students in Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten participated in a 50/50 dual-language immersion program in which 50% of instruction was provided in English and 50% of instruction was provided in Spanish.
For the 2023-24 school year, the dual-language program will expand into 1st grade and increase by one grade level per year moving forward - providing our students with a pathway to becoming fully bilingual, biliterate, and bicultural by graduation in the 8th grade.
