Overview of Dual Language Program
Kemp Mill’s Dual Language program became official in September, 2007. The program was started in 2001 in an effort to find the most effective research-based model for instructing our burgeoning numbers of non-English speaking students, mostly Hispanic. The model serves 50% native English-speaking students and 50% native Spanish-speaking students in kindergarten through third grade. The students spend part of their day learning in English and part of their day learning in Spanish using the MCPS curriculum guides. The goal of the program is for all students to develop bi-literacy, an appreciation of multiculturalism, and to provide them with a rigorous academic program.
