Dual Language Immersion Program at Dos Caminos Elementary
2023-2024 - Preschool, TK, K Cohort

We have exciting news that PVSD is offering a Dual-Language Immersion program starting in the 2023-2024 school year for incoming Preschool, Transitional Kindergarten and Kindergarten Cohort at Dos Caminos Elementary School!

Last year, on the PVSD LCAP survey, 65% of families noted that a Dual-Language Immersion (DLI) program should be explored. For several months our team has researched and viewed different models. In a unified consensus, the DCS faculty has elected to begin a DLI program next year at Dos Caminos (DCS) starting with Preschool, TK and Kindergarten. Each year, we will add an additional grade level following this cohort with school-wide full-implementation in 2029. The model selected is 50% instruction in English and 50% instruction in Spanish.

The goal of the DCS Dual Language program is for students to develop high levels of language proficiency and literacy in English and Spanish languages, demonstrate mastery of California Content Standards, and develop an appreciation and understanding of diverse cultures. Students will have a foundation to earn the California Seal of Biliteracy to accompany their high school diploma.

The program for all students currently enrolled in K-5 at DCS will not change. However, we are working to offer an 8 week conversational Spanish elective as part of our enrichment program for all grades. Call today (805) 383-5310 to reserve a spot for an upcoming tour of Dos Caminos.
