Program Overview K-2
Students receive 100% of their core content instruction in Spanish. This includes Reading, Math, Language Arts, Science, Social Studies, and Bible. Teachers use visuals, motions, repetition, and modeling to ensure comprehensible input for students.
Students learn how to use strategies such as circumlocution (using the words they know to explain the words they do not know) to help them communicate only in Spanish.
Program Overview 3-5
Once students reach 3rd grade, an intentional program of English-specific skills is taught, alongside a slowly increasing amount of instructional minutes in English to practice and reinforce those skills. Special classes continue to be taught in English.
Program Overview 6-8
In middle school, students begin a secondary continuation program. The students take three courses: Spanish Language Arts, Bible, and Social Studies, which are designed to work together to expand their vocabulary and deepen their ability to read, write, speak, and listen to Spanish at an advanced level. Students have the opportunity to continue their dual language education at a partner Christian high school.
