Dual language programs are an immersion education model where native English speakers and native speakers of another language, learn academic content in both languages. The goal is to develop bilingual, biliterate, and bicultural students, with instruction split approximately 50% in English and 50% in the other language. These programs are designed to benefit both English Language Learners (ELLs) and English-proficient students.
