Students in the DLI program are taught grade-level academic content in both languages. Students develop bilingual and biliteracy skills that promote academic achievement and cross-cultural competence. At this time, the DLI program in ACSD#1 is a one-way immersion program with predominantly native English speakers. This information is for families who are interested in applying for the kindergarten and 1st grade DLI lotteries at Slade Elementary School. Slade will hold two lotteries this year: one for 1st grade DLI 2022-2023 and another for incoming kindergarteners for 1st grade DLI 2023-2024.
