The goal of a Dual Language Program is for students to develop bilingualism and biliteracy in both English and a partner language, demonstrate high levels of academic achievement, and cultivate positive cross-cultural attitudes. Balanced numbers of native English speakers and native speakers of the target language are taught literacy and academic content in both languages so that each group serves in the role of language model and language learner as their acquire language and knowledge in core academic areas.
The Fullerton School District will open two Dual Language classrooms (English/Spanish) at Raymond School. Students who enroll in the Dual Language Program will learn to read, write, and speak in two languages beginning in Kindergarten.
