Dual Language Immersion Program
The Dual Language Immersion Program integrates native Spanish-speaking students and native English-speaking students, and academic instruction is provided in both Spanish and English.
Program Goals
The overarching goals of our Dual Language Immersion Program follow the three pillars of Dual Language Education:
- Bilingualism and biliteracy.
- High academic achievement.
- Socio-cultural competency.
Program Model at Camarena
Our program offers a 90/10 Dual Language Immersion Program model. In the 90/10 model, the target language (Spanish) is used for 90% of the instructional time and English is used for 10%, in TK, Kindergarten and 1st grade. Each year the amount of English is increased by 10% until the instructional day becomes 50% English and 50% Spanish.
