International Charter Academy of Georgia (ICA Georgia), a new dual language Japanese-English charter school in Peachtree Corners, GA, is now accepting applications for August 2018. As a statewide charter school, the school will be open to any student residing in the state of Georgia. The school expects to open with an initial enrollment of 300 children for grades K-5. ICA Georgia will use the Dual Language Model for Japanese and English instruction, which is supported by a wealth of research and recommended by experts in dual language acquisition. In this innovative model, the ratio of time spent in each language favors Japanese in younger grades and shifts to balance more evenly with English as students age. All core subjects will be taught in both languages, exposing students to a wide range of content learning areas in the target language and enhancing academic achievement in general. Additionally, Chinese classes will be offered for one to two 45-minute periods per week.
