DUAL LANGUAGE SCHOOL

Dual Language School is a public elementary school that is part of the Perth Amboy Public School District school district, located in Fords, NJ with about 295 students offering grade levels from 2nd Grade to 5th Grade. With about 22 teachers, Dual Language School has a student/teacher ratio of about 13:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The **Dual Language School**, located at 630 Amboy Avenue in Fords, New Jersey, is a specialized educational institution focused on bilingual literacy and biliteracy. The school’s core mission is to provide students with a rigorous academic foundation while fostering proficiency in two languages, typically English and Spanish. By integrating language learning into the standard curriculum, the school aims to prepare students to navigate a globalized world, promoting cross-cultural understanding alongside cognitive and academic development.

The school is structured to support students in developing native-level fluency in both languages through immersive classroom environments and high-quality instructional practices. Beyond language acquisition, the program emphasizes critical thinking and academic excellence, ensuring that students meet or exceed state standards across core subjects.
