Welcome to the Clover Park School District Dual Language Program!

About the Program

CPSD is dedicated to creating a dynamic, multicultural learning environment where students from Spanish and English-speaking backgrounds achieve bilingual proficiency and cultural appreciation. For the 2025-26 school year, the district is offering two types of Dual Language programing to incoming kindergarten students. Incoming Kinders attending Carter Lake Elementary and Hillside Elementary can participate in the world language immersion program. Incoming Kinder attending Four Heroes Elementary can participate in the two-way dual language program.

    The Spanish World Language Immersion (WLI) Program equips students with the skills to speak, read, and write in both languages, preparing them for a diverse and interconnected world. Starting in kindergarten, students spend 90% of their day learning in Spanish to facilitate early Spanish acquisition, with 10% of the day dedicated to English Language Development. Instruction in English gradually increases until students spend roughly half of their day learning in each language by Grade 4.
