The Spanish Dual Language Immersion program follows a 90:10 Dual Language Immersion model in elementary school. Students initially receive instruction in Spanish for 90% of the day and in English for 10% of the day starting in kindergarten. The percentage of English increases annually until 50% of the day is taught in Spanish and 50% in English by 6th grade. The Spanish language is taught both for language acquisition and content instruction.

Careful consideration is given to the selection and planning of the content areas and themes that are taught in Spanish. Dual Immersion classes are taught by fully credentialed, bilingual teachers who have additional preparation and expertise in teaching Spanish.
