There are numerous benefits to being in a Dual Language program for both native Spanish speakers and native English speakers.

  • Studies show that students who are bilingual score higher on certain components of standardized tests than monolingual students.
  • Students are able to achieve a high degree of proficiency in a second language.
  • Being bilingual increases future job opportunities.
  • Such programs can strengthen positive attitudes among students, their families, and communities.
