My daughter is part of the Japanese Dual Language program at Verdugo Woodlands Elementary School. Due to COVID, she had limited school experience before starting JDL Kindergarten. She began with some initial challenges, but under Mr. Jaffe’s excellent guidance, she made significant progress. Mrs. Ingram and Mrs.Tanabe, responsible for 1st and 2nd graders, are equally exceptional. My husband and I frequently volunteer, and the entire school community, including the dedicated teachers, administrators, and principal, is truly outstanding. We're grateful our daughter can thrive in such an exceptional learning environment!The program offers instruction in Japanese for 50% of the day and 50% in English. Furthermore, students have the chance to immerse themselves in Japanese culture by celebrating festivals and learning the language. It’s important to note that a Japanese background is not a prerequisite for enrollment. This program provides an excellent opportunity to learn a second language.
