3 Pillars of DLI Education
Risen Christ’s comprehensive dual language curriculum provides instruction in both English and Spanish, across all academic subjects. Students spend half of the day receiving English instruction and half of the day receiving Spanish instruction, fully immersed in the particular language of instruction.
By separating content by language, students develop an improved ability to compare languages in terms of words and sentence structures, in addition to an enhanced ability to transfer conceptual knowledge and skills across languages. Students at Risen Christ are taught how to apply the skills and strategies across languages and to see similarities as well as language-specific differences.
At Risen Christ, we work to deepen and broaden our relationships with our school families. We work to understand the family’s culture, heritage and educational journey — how the parents learned things in their schools, sometimes thousands of miles away and decades ago. Risen Christ paints a picture of what education means for everyone, so that it can mean the most for our shared future.
