Instructional Program

Two-Way Dual Language Immersion Program will be offered in PreKindergarten and Kindergarten in the 2024-2025 school year. The program will expand each year to the next grade level until the students complete 5th grade. Plano ISD curriculum will be taught in our two-way dual language immersion program in English and Spanish according to the program model. 

In PreKindergarten through 5th grade, 50% of the instruction is in Spanish and 50% of the instruction is in English. There is a “bridge” done at the end of each content unit which allows for the teacher to build linguistic understanding and build vocabulary in the opposite language. 

Two-way dual language is a choice program that integrates English proficient and Spanish-speaking students in the same classroom. Students will remain in the two-way dual language program through 5th grade. Two-way dual language programs help students develop oral and cognitive academic language in both English and Spanish, while mastering grade level knowledge and skills in all elementary content areas. The goal of the program is for all students to become bilingual and biliterate.
