Today students in Transitional Kindergarten through fourth grade learn half of their day in English and half of their day in Spanish.The Dual Language Immersion program opens doors to different mindsets; kids are excited and engaged, they develop a stronger bicultural identity which increases their self-esteem.At St. Philomene School students are known and respected, they are encouraged by all members of the school community, and they are actively formed in faith.
