This program is developed to ensure that students become bilingual, biliterate in Spanish/English & have cultural competence while learning with grade level material.

  • The need for more bilingual people is

growing in the USA. Dual language programs give English monolingual students an opportunity to become truly bilingual and biliterate.

  • The Dual Language program provides a more

effective way to meet the needs of our English Language Learners (ELLs) to improve academic performance.

Why Choose a Dual Language Program?
