Dual Language Immersion/One-Way Program
The goal of the Dual Language One-Way Immersion Program is for students to attain bilingualism and biliteracy in English and Spanish, while also achieving high academic success and developing global awareness. This model provides ongoing instruction in literacy and academic content through content-based language instruction in both languages.
All students in this enrichment program have Spanish as their home language. They have the opportunity to become bi-literate, bilingual, and bicultural scholars. Instruction is provided in English and Spanish and language learning is integrated with content instruction as they progress through elementary years.
Who is eligible to enroll in Dual Language One-Way?
- Students in elementary grades PK- 5 whose primary/first language is Spanish as indicated on the home language survey completed at initial enrollment.
