The Dual Language Program is both an additive bilingual program for Spanish-speaking students and a foreign language immersion program for English-speaking students. In Two-Way classrooms, a combination of native Spanish speakers and native English speakers are taught together in an effort to develop full bilingualism and bi-literacy for both groups of students.

Where: Condit Multipurpose Room
We ask that all attendees RSVP to Fio Brito (DL Coordinator) at fiorela.brito@houstonisd.org as space is limited. 

 

All participating students receive instruction in language arts and content subjects primarily in Spanish in the early grades (K-2) with a grade-specific amount of English as a Second Language/English Language Development instruction incorporated daily. English instruction is gradually increased through the grade levels (K-2) and by third-grade, instruction is presented in a 50% Spanish/50% English format. All students are able to think, talk, read, write and learn concepts in both languages.

If needed, paper applications can be picked up at the school and delivered to the school (8:00 - 2:00 PM) to the coordinator, Fio Brito.
