Bilingual Education
The Dual Language Spanish Immersion program begins with 90 percent Spanish and 10 percent English. The percentage changes as the grades increase. By fourth grade, students are learning 50 percent of the time in English and 50 percent of the time in Spanish. The goal of the program is for students to graduate from sixth grade with the ability to speak, read, and write proficiently in both English and Spanish. The second program is our Conversational Spanish. Students learn all content in English, but they engage in 30 minutes of conversational Spanish. The goal of the Conversational Spanish program is for students to reach proficiency in English and develop basic conversational skills in Spanish.
