Wharton K-8 Dual Language Academy is still one of the best places to learn two languages, and it does a great job of preparing students for a future that is connected to the rest of the world. Recently, the academy held a "International Marketplace" where students showed off their research on different cultures and their ability to speak more than one language. People are also praising the school for how involved parents are and how well it connects with the community.
