The Riverhead School District is proud to offer a Dual Language program, enriching students with bilingual and bicultural education from an early age. This innovative program is designed to promote bilingualism, biliteracy, and cross-cultural competencies, preparing our students for a globalized world.

Currently, the Dual Language program is available from K-2 across all elementary schools within the district. Phillips Avenue School is the dedicated hub where the program continues to nurture language development for students in grades K-4. 

The goal of the Dual Language program is to create an immersive learning environment where students receive instruction in both English and Spanish. This approach not only strengthens academic skills but also fosters an appreciation for cultural diversity.

By participating in the Dual Language program, students gain the cognitive and social benefits of being proficient in two languages, equipping them with valuable tools for future success. Our commitment to bilingual education is shaping well-rounded, culturally aware students ready to thrive in an interconnected world.
