Saint Alphonsus School - East Los Angeles' Dual Language Immersion Catholic School

​TRANSITIONAL KINDERGARTEN - KINDERGARTEN
​ELEMENTARY SCHOOL - MIDDLE SCHOOL

An innovative Dual Language Immersion education in a faith based setting

​Saint Alphonsus School is a private, coeducational, Catholic Elementary, and Middle School dedicated to nurturing our students’ academic excellence, faith development, and personal growth. From Transitional Kindergarten to Eighth Grade, we work with our supportive community to develop students intellectually, morally and spiritually. We integrate bilingual education, individualized private school setting, and well-rounded values-based teaching.

This school year, Transitional Kindergarten (TK), Kindergarten 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade students are experiencing Dual Language Immersion.  Beginning in Fall 2021, the program will encompass grades TK-4.  Students spend half the day learning in Spanish and half the day learning in English.  By being taught academic subjects such as math, science, social studies and religion in each language, students will develop mastery of speaking, reading and writing in both.  The program will grow by a grade every year, until the whole school participates in DLI.  Our goal is for our students to become bilingual, biliterate and develop compassion for both cultures.
