Welcome to Yankee Ridge Multilingual Elementary

Yankee Ridge Multilingual Elementary is the District’s multilingual school for K-5th grade students. Our Dual Language programs are bilingual education programs that integrate students who are Spanish or French dominant with students that are English dominant with instruction in two languages: Spanish or French AND English. Students spend part of the school day learning in Spanish or French and part of the day learning in English through an 80/20 model (Spanish) or 50/50 model (French).

The goals of the dual language program is for students to develop high levels of proficiency in both Spanish or French and in English. The benefits of bilingualism allow for creativity and problem solving, greater cross cultural understanding, and marketability for future college and career goals in a bilingual and multilingual society.
