TUSD offers a Two-Way Dual Language Immersion Program for incoming kindergarten students in Spanish at two Elementary Schools - Carr and Torrance Elementary Schools. *Please Note: Priority enrollment in the Dual Immersion Program will be given to incoming students whose school of residence is one of these 2 schools.
Dual language immersion is an educational model that integrates native English speakers and native speakers of a target language in the same classroom for the entire school day. This Program provides a choice for parents who want their children to become fluent in two languages while developing academic skills in core subjects. The Two-Way Dual Language Spanish program is designed for 3 types of students:
- English Learners whose home language is Spanish
- Bilingual students who speak Spanish and English
- English proficient students
