Bilingual Program

DC Bilingual promotes high academic achievement and encourages a joy of learning as students develop critical problem-solving skills. The physical, programmatic, and philosophical partnership with CentroNía, enables DC Bilingual to build a seamless transition from preschool to elementary school, thereby strengthening learning opportunities for children and their families.

Dividing their day between English and Spanish classrooms, students are supported and instructed by two highly-qualified co-teachers in their native language. DC Bilingual students have a wide-range of home language experiences, from homes where only English or Spanish is spoken, to homes where combinations of languages are spoken. DC Bilingual recognizes and celebrates children’s diverse learning styles and maintains a diverse staff well-positioned to support and cultivate the linguistic and cultural enrichment of our students.
