Escuela Key Students Shine at National Event

On November 16, the U.S. Department of Education hosted a national event with education leaders to share the goals of new “Being Bilingual is a Superpower” initiative. Escuela Key students were invited to perform and participate in the event based on the strength of the APS dual-language immersion program and our focus on bilingualism and biliteracy.

The goal of the new initiative is to promote multilingual education and bolster high-quality language programs and a diverse multilingual educator workforce across the country. “Being Bilingual is a Superpower” will promote and further the understanding of bilingualism and biliteracy as an educational and economic imperative for student success, global competitiveness, and engagement. The new initiative seeks to promote research-based bilingual educational opportunities and language instruction in early learning education settings and beyond.

Escuela Key students really shined at the event, and we’re so proud of them for representing APS and their school so well!
