Emerson  Dual Language School leads in language learning

 

In Fall 2021, Emerson Dual Language Magnet in the Loring Park neighborhood of Central Minneapolis welcomes students from throughout the city. Students at Emerson will experience a collaborative learning environment in two  languages. Beginning in Pre-K and Kindergarten, students receive 90% of their instruction in Spanish and 10% of their instruction in English. Instruction in English gradually increases with the English/Spanish ratio culminating at 50/50 in the 5th grade. All students learn to speak, read and write in both languages. Students are encouraged to continue  with the Spanish Dual Language program at Andersen United Community School. Emerson is the oldest Spanish immersion program in Minnesota.
