Dual Language Immersion
Program Description
Elementary School - Spanish dual language programs allow students to develop proficiency in two languages by receiving content area instruction in both English and Spanish. Students, regardless of native language proficiency, are provided with ample exposure to languages, allowing them to achieve academic excellence while becoming bilingual and bi-literate. The program also emphasizes cultural awareness and sensitivity.
Middle School - The Spanish Dual Language program offers a continuation for students who have been enrolled in Kilpatrick Dual Language Program, Mt. Zion Elementary Dual Language Program, the Unidos Dual Language School, or a similar Spanish Dual Language program at the elementary level or who have a high level of Spanish language proficiency. Highly motivated students are engaged in a challenging academic environment.
