Curriculum

Our goal is to educate students to become bilingual and biliterate, and to enable children to meet the challenges of a global society. Students will acquire the skills to read, write, speak, listen, and think in two languages. The development of fluency and literacy in two languages requires 6+ years of continuous participation in the Dual Language Immersion Program.

In Valley View’s Dual Language Immersion Program, Spanish is used as the language of instruction throughout the primary grades. English is introduced gradually into the curriculum.
