Dual Language - Kindergarten through grade 5

The Dual Language program begins in prekindergarten and continues through fifth grade at eleven designated campuses.

Every year, until third-grade the student’s English instruction increases, and the Spanish instruction decreases. Instruction transitions to 50% in Spanish and 50% in English in grades 3 through 5.
