ICAGeorgia offers a Dual Language immersion program in both English and Japanese. This means that students spend part of their day immersed in Japanese-speaking classes and the rest of the day in English-speaking classes. Throughout the school day, during both Japanese and English immersion, students are exposed to a wide range of content learning areas, such as Math, Science, Social Studies, Art, Music and Physical Education.
We work hard to ensure that students attain a high level of Japanese instruction by using the Japanese Ministry of Education curriculum in the Japanese department. Additionally, English and Japanese teachers, including ESOL teachers, collaborate across departments during team meetings and professional development. At ICAGeorgia, we believe careful attention to how we plan and prepare to advance our own learning is synonymous with student achievement. Our teachers attend professional learning to improve planning and preparation every other Friday.
