Are there eligibility requirements to participate in Dual Language programs?

Yes, depending on the student’s grade level. Dual Language seats for grades 2 and higher are reserved for students who demonstrate sufficient Spanish proficiency as determined by campus testing. Dual Language seats for grades Pre-K through 1st grade are available for all students, regardless of current language proficiency.
