New Spanish Dual Language coming to Columbia!
We are also excited to announce that we are opening a new Spanish Dual Language school at Columbia beginning with TK and Kindergarten for the 2025-2026 school year. Columbia will join Durfee and New Lexington as schools offering Dual Language Immersion programs.
- Columbia: Spanish Dual Language

What is Dual Language Immersion?
It is a multicultural experience where students learn academic content in two languages with the goal to develop fluency and literacy in both languages to foster cross-cultural awareness and understanding.
- Example: if you choose to enroll your child in New Lexington's Mandarin Dual Language program, students will learn academic content in Mandarin AND English. If you choose to enroll your child in Columbia or Durfee's Spanish Dual Language program, your child will learn in English AND Spanish.
