Dual Language Kindergarten

Spanish Dual-Language

Spanish Dual-Language preschool - 6th grade is offered at Gilbert Elementary. 

Dual language is a bilingual education model that uses English and a partner language (Spanish at Gilbert) for 50% of instructional time. These programs generally begin in kindergarten and roll up one grade level per year. A clear separation of languages is essential with a commitment to stay in the target language and encourage students to use that target language during target language time as well. Having a clear articulation of the program will also ensure its success.
