Los Angeles, CA: Saint Sebastian School, a private Catholic preschool, elementary and middle school in West Los Angeles, will begin its new Spanish-English Dual Language Immersion Program exactly one month from today, August 24th. Enrollment is open for incoming Transitional Kindergarten and Kindergarten (Ages 4 and 5) students. The program will feature half the day’s learning in Spanish, the other half in English.

As Dual Language Programs have risen in popularity, the results demonstrate a continued pattern of success:
• Students gain grade level academic ability, well-developed language and literacy skills in two languages.
