Welcome to the Horace Mann Dual
Language School!
 Horace Mann offers a two-way
dual language education where all students learn a second language through
content-based instruction, while enhancing their first language.
Horace Mann's dual language program provides a unique opportunity for students to
learn English and Spanish simultaneously by providing
standards-based instruction in both languages. English and Spanish speakers are united in
dual language classes, which are made up of 50% English speakers and 50% Spanish
speakers. This allows both groups to benefit from exposure to native
speakers. Students are then taught a highly academic curriculum in both
languages.
Learn more about
our Horace Mann program by viewing a slide presentation
explaining different parts of our program!
