Two academic programs offered:
- Structured English Immersion (SEI) – offering one class at every grade level.
Teachers modify their instruction and employ strategies to make the core content understandable for English Learners, helping them maintain grade level competency. - Two-Way Bilingual Immersion (TWBI) – offering two classes at every grade level.
The TWBI program features native Spanish-speaking students as role models for English speaking students in primary grades. During the Academic English Language class (20% of each class day), English speaking students become the role
models. The language model grows over the years with more time each year devoted to learning the English language
