Student Growth and Academic Results
Global Village Academy is a K–8 language immersion school where students build strong academic skills while becoming proficient in a second language.
Why language immersion education works
Research shows that students in language immersion programs often perform as well as or better than their peers in English literacy while gaining the added benefit of bilingual proficiency.
At Global Village Academy, students develop strong academic skills while building confidence and real-world language ability.
Student Growth That Stands Out
Across our schools, students are making meaningful progress in both academics and language development.
Here’s a look at what that growth means.
73% meet or exceed world language proficiency targets
- This reflects strong progress across all immersion programs and grade levels.
All three GVA schools met all English Language Growth goals in 2024–25
- Students are making consistent reading progress, even those who started below grade level.
+17-point increase in language proficiency since 2023
- This shows sustained improvement over time, not just a one-year result.
GVA schools earned top state performance ratings, reflecting strong academic growth and outcomes.
Students are not just growing; they are outperforming expectations compared to surrounding districts.
“I love that I can speak another language and use it outside of school. It makes me feel confident and proud of what I’ve learned.”— GVA North Student
What does this mean for your child?
It means your child is not just learning a second language; they are using it with confidence.
It means they are making strong progress in reading and literacy.
And it means they are building skills that will support them long after they leave the classroom.
