In line with the government’s progressive move to introduce Spanish as a compulsory subject in primary education, the ‘My Language Academy and Dominion School’ has unveiled an innovative bilingual educational service, extending its reach from kindergarten to Grade Six. This groundbreaking initiative marks a significant stride in education reform, offering a comprehensive language learning experience for both local and migrant children.<\/p>\n\n\n

Founder, Andrea P\u00e1ez, shared the genesis of this endeavor, which emerged from a deep understanding of the challenges faced by migrant parents in ensuring their children excel in both English and Spanish. She expressed, “The parents were constantly telling me that they wanted a school, and all of my children were out of school because parents were hesitant to enroll them due to the language barrier.” With unwavering determination, P\u00e1ez sought support from the Ministry of Education, which gave her the green light to embark on this educational venture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The unique teaching method at the school involves close observation of the learning process of migrant children. In instances where understanding is hindered, immediate translation is provided. Additionally, Spanish classes are seamlessly integrated into the curriculum for Guyanese children. P\u00e1ez emphasized the inclusive nature of this approach, highlighting heartwarming interactions between students of different linguistic backgrounds.<\/p>\n\n\n

Situated at the intersection of Albert and Regent Street, Georgetown, the school is strategically located for easy access. At present, the facility accommodates 60 pupils under this bilingual teaching approach, with plans underway to extend services to secondary school students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This pioneering effort by ‘My Language Academy and Dominion School’ not only aligns with the government’s educational objectives but also sets a remarkable precedent for inclusive and culturally diverse learning environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
