The magnet program where students learn to read, write, listen and speak fluently in two languages.

Research shows that the ideal time to learn a new language is during the primary years. The Dual language program allows students to develop proficiency in two languages by receiving 50% of their academic instruction in English and 50% in Spanish.

This 50:50 ratio split will be employed for all core content subject areas. Students learn to read, write, listen and speak in both languages through research-based instruction and an advanced and rigorous curriculum. Students also gain a rich appreciation of other cultures.
