Alice Birney Elementary School

🎉 We are excited to share that 12 JP Schools have been recognized by the state of Louisiana as Certified Language Immersion Schools for meeting rigorous state standards in providing effective bilingual education! 🌎

Our dual language immersion programs help students develop proficiency in a second language while building strong foundations in language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies. These programs also foster a deeper appreciation for Louisiana’s rich culture and cultures from around the world.

Take a look at this article by Elyse Carmosino from NOLA.com highlighting the dual language immersion program at Alice Birney Elementary School and the impact it is making on students.

Huge congratulations to the 5th graders for bringing home that 3rd place trophy in the Waltz, that’s no small feat! And the 4th graders showed up and showed out too… those boots made quite the statement 😄
Moments like that stick with kids for a long time, confidence, teamwork, and a little sparkle on the dance floor. Well done to all of them! 💃🕺
