In the Dual Language Program, instructional time is divided between learning in Spanish and learning in English. Classes are integrated to promote cultural and linguistic exchanges among the students. Students learn the languages through content area instruction using grade-appropriate curriculum.

Children who learn to read in their native language very quickly catch on to reading in their second language. The same is true for math, science and social studies concepts. Concepts are learned in one language and then naturally transfer into the second language.

In the summer of 2024, we officially unveiled Albany International Academy as a new name for our building at 50 Lark St., which houses both our Newcomer Program and Dual Language Program.

While these are enrolled seperately and distinct programs, we wanted a name for our building that reflected our vibrant community and the important work happening in our classrooms.

Many of our staff in the building also serve both programs, and there are frequent opportunities for collaboration between the two. With that in mind, we use the name Albany International Academy, or AIA for short, to refer to both programs collectively.
