Dual Immersion TK

Our Dual Immersion Transitional Kindergarten (TK) program offers a rich and engaging learning experience for both Spanish- and English-speaking children.
 
For Spanish-speaking students, this program provides an additive bilingual experience—meaning children continue to develop and strengthen the Spanish they have been learning since birth while also building confidence and skills in English.
 
For English-speaking students, Dual Immersion TK offers an exciting opportunity to begin learning in Spanish in a supportive, age-appropriate environment. This early exposure is especially beneficial for families who are interested in the Dual Immersion Kindergarten program.
 

Important Program Information

Please note that Dual Immersion TK is a stand-alone program and is not an automatic feeder into the Dual Immersion Kindergarten through 8th grade program. While it is anticipated that many students will continue into Dual Immersion Kindergarten, families must submit a separate application for the Dual Immersion Kinder–8th grade program in order to be considered. Dual Immersion TK is a wonderful way to introduce young learners to bilingual education, nurture language development, and spark a love of learning in two languages.
