Washington Unified Kick Starts New 
Dual Language Immersion Program
The Washington Unified School District is launching a new Dual (Two-Way) Language Immersion Program at  Elkhorn Village Elementary School  in English and Spanish next school year to help students develop strong skills and proficiency in both their native language and English.

Students participating in dual immersion have a unique opportunity to develop high levels of language proficiency and literacy in both program languages, to demonstrate high levels of academic achievement, and to develop an appreciation for and an understanding of diverse cultures—including the chance to receive a State Seal of Biliteracy on their high school diploma!

What is Dual Immersion?

Dual Language Immersion programs utilize two languages to teach academic content in the classroom. The programs provide the same academic content and address the same standards as other educational programs while incorporating two languages over an extended period of time, from kindergarten through at grade eight.
