Welcome to the Dual Immersion Academy

Dual Immersion Academy (DIA), a Spanish-English dual language elementary school (K-8) chartered by the Utah State Office of Education, opened in September 2007. DIA offers an educational choice for parents who want their children to become bilingual and bi-literate at the age when their young minds have the greatest aptitude for language development. The well-researched and proven effectiveness of dual immersion schools includes data on higher performance in all academic subject areas and increased ability to acquire additional languages.

At DIA, where diversity is the standard, we believe our differences are assets. The Academy will provide children with successful learning experiences, increasing positive self-image. Students learn to study and work cooperatively within flexible groups, learning from one another as well as their instructors. In these groupings they learn interdependence, individual accountability, shared responsibility and social leadership skills. DIA's graduates will have a profound and immensely influential impact upon Utah's social, economic and cultural life.

Dear parents,

Because of the adoption of the 90-10 model of Dual Immersion in our school, we can no longer accept students in grades 3rd-5th that do no speak and read Spanish. We are very sorry for the inconvinience. Thank you.
