Boulder Valley School District

Bilingual and Proud

The Boulder Valley School District has long valued bilingualism, understanding the benefits that it provides to both our students and the community at large.

 

 

With more than 4,000 bilingual students in the district, BVSD is one of few school districts in Colorado to operate dual-language schools. They include Boulder's Columbine Elementary, Lafayette’s Escuela Bilingüe Pioneer, and Boulder’s University Hill Elementary. BVSD also offers three dual language middle school strands: Angevine Middle SchoolCasey Middle School, and Manhattan Middle School of Arts and Academics.
