In the dual language program, the focus is to transfer language skills to develop bi-literacy and not to transition into one language instruction. The implementation of the program will allow all students to become bi-literate, bi-cultural and bilingual.
Our campus currently implements the 90/10 and 50/50 dual language programs:
90/10: All students in Pre-K will receive 90% of their daily instruction in Spanish and 10% in English. Each year, students will receive more instruction in English as the percentage of Spanish instruction time begins to decrease. By 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students will receive 50% of their daily /instruction in both English and Spanish.
80/20: Students in Kinder will receive 80% of their daily instruction in Spanish and 20% in English.
70/30: Students in 1st grade will receive 70% of their daily instruction in Spanish and 30% in English.
60/40: Students in 2nd grade will receive 60% of their daily instruction in Spanish and 40% in English.
50/50: Students in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade will receive 50% of their daily instruction in both languages.
