Global Ambassadors Language Academy
K-5 Immersion Teachers, Bilingual (Mandarin & English)
Organization Background
Global Ambassadors Language Academy (GALA) is an international, dual language immersion, K-8 school in
Cleveland, Ohio. As a nonprofit, public charter school, GALA is tuition-free and enrolls students from within and
around Cleveland. GALA currently offers two target immersion languages: Mandarin and Spanish. As the only
dual language immersion school in Northeast Ohio and first Mandarin immersion school in Ohio, GALA offers a
nationally successful education model to the region.
As an international school, GALA is pursuing implementation and candidacy in the International Baccalaureate
(IB) Primary Years Program (PYP); seeking authorization in our third year of operation. IB is a Swiss-based
education program renowned for its international framework and inquiry based learning. As a dual language
immersion school, GALA provides instruction of all core subjects (Math, Reading, Science, Social Studies) in two
languages: English and a Target Language (Mandarin or Spanish); leading to dual proficiency (reading, writing,
listening, speaking).
GALA’s Mandarin Immersion Program and Spanish Immersion Program is enrolling Kindergarten, First, Second,
Third, Fourth, and Fifth grade students for the 2020-2021 school year. GALA will add one grade level each year
and grow each year to eventually serve approximately 700 PreK-8 students. In grades K-2, instruction is
provided in the Target Language for 70% of the school day and in
English for 30% of the school day. In grades 3-
5, instruction is provided in the Target Language for 60% of the
school day and in English for 40% of the school
day. In grades 6-8, instruction is provided in the Target Language for 50% of the school day and in English for
50% of the school day. This model involves two teachers per grade (K-8): one to provide instruction exclusively
in the Target Language and the other to provide instruction exclusively in English.
