Dual Immersion Programs encourage positive interaction between English and Spanish speaking groups ensuring that students learn from each other. As friendships build, children become excited about working and playing in two languages.

Emphasis on learning academic subjects through Spanish language instruction in the early grades allows English-speakers to have maximum exposure to Spanish. Spanish speakers have the opportunity to build a strong base in their first language, enabling them to be more successful as they begin to acquire English.
