Dual Language Program
Una Visión del Language Dual en Highland Park High School en el Township High School District 113
El propósito del programa de lenguaje dual es proveer una educación de primera categoría en la que el alumno se vuelve bilingüe y biletrado es decir capaz de leer y escribir en español e inglés, al mismo tiempo que comprende y aprecia todas las culturas.
Los estudiantes bilingües no deben ser vistos como dos estudiantes monolingües en uno, sino como uno que aprovecha cada sistema del lenguaje para entenderlo y conectarlo con el otro.
A Dual Language Vision at Highland Park High School in Township High School District 113
The aim of the Dual Language Program is to provide a world class education where children will become bilingual and biliterate in Spanish and English while developing an understanding and an appreciation of all cultures.
Bilingual learners should not be viewed as two monolingual learners in one but rather one who draws upon each language system to make sense of and connect to the other.

- The Commendation Toward Biliteracy: is awarded to students whose proficiency level is equivalent to the Intermediate Low or Intermediate Mid scale set in a second language.
Fall 2024 "Seal of Biliteracy" testing is available for students who would like to demonstrate proficiency in a language other than English. To schedule testing, please contact Jeff Handley at jhandley@dist113.org.
