The GUSD Foreign Language Academies of Glendale (FLAG) program offers dual immersion language programs in seven target languages: Armenian, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish.
Program Goals
GUSD's goal is for all FLAG students to:
Develop high levels of language proficiency and literacy in both English and the target language
Demonstrate high levels of academic achievement
Develop an appreciation for and an understanding of diverse cultures
GUSD offers both 90/10 and 50/50 Dual Immersion programs begining in kindergarten. In both program models, the target language is taught through content, not as a separate course of study.
Dual Immersion classes are taught by fully credentialed bilingual teachers who have additional preparation and expertise teaching in both English and their target language.
