Dual Language Program

Our program is based upon research showing that students are capable of learning in two languages at once, and actually excel under these conditions. 

*It is “Two-Way” Dual Language because there is a balance of native English speakers and native Spanish speakers in a class.

*It is called "immersion" because beginning in kindergarten; students are completely immersed in English for half the day and in Spanish for half the day.  This is known as a 50/50 simultaneous literacy model. 

During the Spanish instruction, all teaching and learning happens only in Spanish, and during English instruction only in English. 

For students who are English-dominant, the program will provide enrichment by producing bilingualism and biliteracy without subtracting anything from the regular curriculum.
