Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
A bilingual classroom in Washington, D.C.
Across the District and the Washington suburbs, demand for dual education programs is far outpacing supply. The surge has been fueled by a steady influx of expatriates and immigrants, innovative new curricula and emerging cognitive science about the benefits of raising children in multilingual environments. Kojo explores the future of dual language education in public, charter and private schools across our region.
