Global Citizens PCS

At Global Citizens, we use a 90/10 model for Dual Language Immersion (DLI), where children learn in the partner language for 90% of the time and in English for 10% of the time. In grades K-5, children receive standards-based instruction (aligned to the Common Core State Standards) in reading, writing, math, and science in the partner language for 50% of the time (for half the day) and in English for 50% of the time (for half the day). This is called the “50/50 model for DLI,” as 50% of instruction is in the partner language.
