Students are taught the core academic content, which is done in two languages instead of one. Teachers split up the days to teach in English, and the days they teach in the students' native language. They can also use English and the native language to ensure students understand what is said.

Teachers can do home visits with family to show support and create a connection with the family. This can also let the teacher see how the student is at home and let them see how they can help them in their education.
