The Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District is proud to offer the dual immersion English and Spanish program at Lunada Bay Elementary school. This program facilitates biliteracy in our students the ability to speak, read, and write in English and Spanish. A typical day in a dual language classroom looks very similar to any other classroom in our district. The key difference? Students and teachers are speaking and learning in 2 languages. Students follow the same curriculum as regular classrooms, learning subjects like science, social studies, math, and language arts--all In both languages. Our teachers ensure that all grade level standards are taught and assessed. When students begin dual immersion in kindergarten, they spend 90% of their day learning in Spanish and 10% of their day learning in English. As they progress this ratio gradually becomes more balanced. By the time they reach fifth grade, students spend half their classroom time using each target language. "The kids start in kindergarten. 90% of their day is Spanish, 10% they get with a different teacher of English so they learn how to read and write in both Languages by the time they're done with Elementary School."
