DUAL LANGUAGE ACADEMY

DUAL LANGUAGE ACADEMY is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the TULSA school district, located in Tulsa, OK with about 271 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 5th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 15 teachers, DUAL LANGUAGE ACADEMY has a student/teacher ratio of about 18:1. 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 ACADEMY (DLA), located in Tulsa, Oklahoma, is a specialized elementary school within the Tulsa Public Schools district that focuses on fostering bilingualism and biliteracy in its students. The school is built on a dual-language immersion model, where students learn academic content in both English and Spanish. By integrating these two languages into the daily curriculum, the academy aims to ensure that students not only achieve high levels of academic proficiency but also develop cultural competency and the ability to communicate effectively in a globalized world.

The academy emphasizes a rigorous academic environment that prepares students for long-term success through the development of critical thinking and cross-cultural empathy. By engaging in a balanced instruction program, students at DLA gain the cognitive benefits associated with bilingual education, such as enhanced problem-solving skills and improved linguistic flexibility. The school serves as a unique educational hub in Tulsa, dedicated to empowering its diverse student body with the tools necessary to thrive in both English and Spanish-speaking environments throughout their academic and professional lives.
