Bilingual Alternative
The Bilingual Alternative program is a specialized program of instruction in both English and Spanish for Spanish-speaking English learners, including those fluently proficient in English. The goal is to learn both languages with mastery of academic core content and with fluency in speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Instruction is in English and Spanish.

Dual Immersion
Dual Language Immersion programs bring together native English speakers and native speakers of another language in a unique opportunity for both groups to learn a second language. Students are taught in English for 50% of the day and in Spanish or Mandarin for the other 50% of the day. Interactive lessons encourage students from both language groups to help each other understand, speak, read, and write one another's home language. All students gain a second language in this enriched educational environment.

Secondary School Language Programs
Mandarin, Japanese, French and Spanish are offered at the secondary level.
