Principle

Academic/School Programs

The Asian Studies Academy @ Dwight/Bellizzi is a second language school offering Mandarin Chinese. Based upon the international Asia Society model the school emphasizes global themes, proficiency in at least one foreign language, and exchange of ideas and shared project work with peers around the world.

This Academy will work in partnership with the Latino Studies Academy at Burns and both schools will feed into the new 9-12 Advanced World Languages Academy that will open in August 2011.
