GGUSD held a “Going Global Launch Party” last Thursday, with district administrators, elected officials, community partners, and media to celebrate the opening of the district’s first ever Vietnamese Dual Language Program at Murdy Elementary School. The program began in September with 34 transitional kindergarten students from across the school district.
GGUSD is only the second school district in Orange County, and fourth in the nation, to offer a Vietnamese Dual Language Program. It’s a natural fit at Murdy Elementary School which is located in the heart of Little Saigon and serves a student population that is approximately 70% Vietnamese.
