Lunada Bay's Dual Language Immersion Program is currently in it's second year of operation. Both of our DI classes (Kindergarten and first grade) teach the same curriculum as the English-only classes, but they do it in Spanish! They are learning in Spanish 90% of the day, with the remaining 10% of the day spent learning English Language Arts with another teacher, and in special classes, such as PE, Music and Art with English-only speaking teachers.
We will add a second grade class in the 2025-2026 school year, a third grade class in the 2026-2027 school year, and so on until we have a complete K-5 program. Each year the percentage of time taught in Spanish narrows by 10%, so second grade will be 80% in Spanish and 20% in English, etc. In fifth grade the students will be learning 50% in Spanish and 50% in English.
If you are considering the program for your child, please note that your child must begin in Kindergarten and that there is a lottery to get into the DI program that you sign up for during registration.
We will be hosting a DI Open House on February 8 from 10:00-12:00 if you would like to come to Lunada Bay to learn about the program, meet the principal, meet the teachers, and see the classrooms! Please RSVP to
