Dual Language Program

Students have the opportunity to apply and participate in the Dual Language Program at Scott Dual Language Magnet School, Landon Middle School, and Topeka High School. The Topeka Public Schools preschool through 12th grade Dual Language Program is the only program of its kind in the state of Kansas, and in 2022, was recognized nationally for innovation and excellence by the National School Boards Association with the Magna Award Grand Prize.

Student Skills:

Students work predominantly in "bilingual pairs;” collaboration is an essential element of our model.
Students work together to achieve learning goals, while also navigating language and learning from peers.
All students read, write, listen, and speak in both languages in an immersion environment.

Engage students in the highest quality of learning • Prepare students for responsible, productive citizenship • Inspire excellence for a lifetime
