Dual Language Immersion Program

Howell Public Schools is excited to launch Academia Bilingüe at Three Fires Elementary for the 2023-2024 school year. Academia Bilingüe at Three Fires Elementary will be a dual language immersion program where students will learn in both English and Spanish through their elementary years. The program was created in response to parent feedback, and to create an additional educational option for Howell families. The program is an educational choice for families, and is not mandated for any student.

In Academia Bilingüe at Three Fires Elementary, students will learn the same course work as in other classrooms in the district, just in Spanish. By the end of elementary school students will be proficient in both English and Spanish.

For the 2023-2024 school year, Academia Bilingüe at Three Fires Elementary will consist of one kindergarten classroom and one first grade classroom.
