About the Program
Diné students at Tres Volcanes have the opportunity to participate in the Bilingual Multicultural Education Program
Your child does not have to be bilingual before starting in our Bilingual Multicultural Education Program. During their 60 minute daily class, they will receive bi-literacy instruction in the two program languages (Diné and English).
The goals for your child in the Bilingual Multicultural Education Program are:
- To develop speaking, reading and writing skills in both English and Diné (bilingualism and biliteracy)
- To achieve grade level proficiency, or above in all academic subjects in both English and Diné
- To appreciate both their first language and their second language.
- To develop appreciation for their culture, as well as the cultures of others.
- To become examples of bilingualism in their community.
