Dual Immersion

Spanish Dual Immersion at Silver Mesa

We are a Spanish Dual Language Immersion School!

 What is Dual Language Immersion?

·       Dual Immersion is a means of acquiring a world language through content matter instruction.

·       Students receive math, science, and/or social studies instruction in a target language, such as Spanish, French, or Chinese.

·       Students learn the concepts and skills for the subject area and develop the ability to read, write, speak, and listen to another language.

·       Subject area instruction through the target world language occurs for at least 50% of the school day during the elementary school years.

·       Teachers are fully proficient in the language they use for instruction.

·       Clear and sustained separation of languages is maintained during instructional time.
