FELICITAS MENDEZ INTL SCHOOL

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.
