    to better navigate their bicultural world by rooting them in their culture and language.

    The mission of the program is two-fold; to develop students who are bilingual, biliterate and bicultural and to help students acquire English language skills in a richer more complete manner. The program was established at the beginning of the 2006-2007 school year with kindergarten and first grade classes. In 2007-2008 Pre-K and second grade was added to the program. In 2008-2009, 3rd grade was added. Now as we are in our fourth year of implementation, we have added 4th grade (2009-2010).

    In the years to come, a grade level will be added each year until the program becomes a PreK-6 grade program.

    In Pre-K through 2 grade all core subject areas, including reading, will be taught in Hmong by a licensed Hmong bilingual teacher. Additionally, a portion of the day will be dedicated to English language development.

    In grades 3-6 students will continue to receive instruction in Hmong literacy while the rest of their day will be in English. The Hmong materials used have been especially designed by the program developers and staff.
