  • Dual Language Immersion (DLI) FAQ

     

    What is a Dual Language Immersion Program?  

    Dual Language Immersion is a program that includes native English speakers and native targeted language speakers in the same classroom and all students learn to think, read, write and communicate naturally in two languages: English/Spanish or English/Mandarin. Participation in a dual language immersion program is a comprehensive educational experience. 

    Why do parents select a Dual Language Immersion Program?  

    Parents select a Dual Language Program to stimulate their child’s cognitive, social, and linguistic development.  It prepares children with advantages to compete for future careers.  Dual Language Education provides children with the skills needed to live and work in a cultural and global economy.  

    Will CVUSD be offering Dual Immersion in the 2023-24 School Year?

    Yes. Two school sites will participate this year. A Mandarin program at Hidden Trails Elementary and a Spanish program at Anna Borba Elementary. Both sites will offer a Kindergarten AM and PM class for the 2023-24 school year. The Mandarin program will be in it's second year of implementation, and will continue to support the current Kindergarten students as they transition into a first grade class. 

    If my child was not part of the Mandarin Kindergarten class for the 22/23 school year at Hidden Trails, would they be eligible to participate as a first grader in the Mandarin Program for the 23/24 school year?

    At this time, the 23/24 first grade Mandarin class is scheduled to be full with the students who will be transitioning from the 22/23 Mandarin Kindergarten class. However, if seats become available and the child is selected through the random lottery process, then they will be invited to attend Hidden Trails Mandarin First Grade.

    Will CVUSD offer a Spanish Dual Language Immersion Program?  

    Yes. CVUSD is now offering a Spanish Dual Language Immersion program for the 2023-24 school year for incoming Kindergarten students ONLY. 

    If I would like to have my Kindergartner and or First grader participate in either of these programs, how do I pre-register?

    Please complete a 23/24 Dual Language Immersion Application to express interest.  These forms will be available beginning November 1, 2022.  They can be found at this link: (Not available until November 1). You will need to complete an application for the language of interest.  There will be a separate application for Mandarin and Spanish. 

    When will I know if my child is accepted into this program?

    CVUSD will hold a lottery for Dual Language Immersion Applications that are completed between November 1, 2022, and December 3, 2022 to determine the students who are chosen for the program. The school district will send you a letter if you are accepted or denied placement for this program. 

    When will I know if my child is chosen for this program?  

    The date for the lottery has yet to be determined, but parents and guardians will be notified once information has been confirmed. Attendance is not mandatory for participation.
