Our Dual Language Academy began with a preschool and kindergarten classroom at the Heelan CYO in 2019. The following year our kindergarten and first grade moved to the Epiphany Center, 1000 Douglas Street. One grade level is added annually until there is a preschool through fifth grade class. Biliteracy support will be provided throughout Heelan schools grades 6-12.

The Dual Language Academy is committed to providing each child with the opportunity to grow, develop and excel, while keeping individual talents and skills at center focus. Classroom instruction will be 90% Spanish and 10%English, changing by 10% annually. Students are with the same bilingual teacher the entire day.
