There’s magic in experiencing a different culture, in speaking a new language. With the power to break down barriers, languages open new opportunities for our children, allowing them to dream a different world. At our school, we speak the language of connection, broadening perspective with each new lesson — preparing our children for a limitless future. The St. Louis Language Immersion School (SLLIS) is a K-8th grade charter school located in the City of St. Louis, Missouri. Instructionally, SLLIS implements the Gomez and Gomez Dual Language Enrichment Model, which is a structured way to provide rigorous dual language instruction at the elementary level. Our students have the opportunity to learn in Chinese, French and Spanish as a regular part of their school day. Diverse. Committed. Expert. These are just some of the words we use to describe our staff. The SLLIS Team is made up of staff members who nurture children, celebrate their successes, and empower them to take risks and grow. Overall, our staff hail from 13 countries across four continents - and speak a total of 16 languages! Visit our website to learn more!
