A high level of proficiency in two languages is the goal of dual language education.

Reading literature is one way to allow us to understand ourselves, others and the world around us. Children read for enjoyment, instruction and information so children are given the opportunities to do so through exposure to wide range of selected fiction and non-fiction texts. During this library time, children listen to a story told by a teacher, explore books, choose a book to be borrowed and for kindergarten children there will be a short session when they can share their favorite story.
