SEAL Bilingualism: Through the Eyes of a Student

What does multilingual education look like when experienced directly by students? In this inspiring 3-minute video, children share their stories of learning English, Spanish, and Portuguese through SEAL’s approach to bilingual and dual language education.

Through their voices, you’ll see the pride, confidence, and academic growth that comes with being bilingual. From translating for family members at the doctor’s office to connecting with grandparents in their home language, students explain how multilingualism is more than just learning words—it’s about identity, culture, and opportunity.

SEAL’s comprehensive model supports students in mastering reading, writing, and communication across languages, while equipping teachers with strategies to integrate English Language Development (ELD) into daily instruction. By fostering bilingualism, we prepare students to thrive academically and socially while building stronger school–family connections.

In this video, you’ll see:
Students reflecting on learning Portuguese, Spanish, and English
The role of family language in building pride and cultural connection
How bilingualism helps children become translators, leaders, and problem-solvers
