• Dual language immersion (DLI) is a form of bilingual education in which students are taught literacy and content in two languages.  Portuguese is currently taught at Sterling Elementary.
• Daily instruction is divided equally between two high-quality, creative classrooms and teachers.  Students receive instruction in English for 50% of the day and in Portuguese for 50% of the day.
• View the Utah DLI instructional model here: DLI Instructional Model (http://utahdli.org/instructionalmodel.html)
  
• Students begin the program in the first grade and remain in the program through the twelfth grade.
• Students who complete the program will achieve high levels of language proficiency in a second language.
