Dual Language Programming

BVSD views students’ languages and cultures as a resource. We recognize the importance of bilingualism and biculturalism and strive to ensure we have Spanish/English dual language programming options across our district to sharpen students' academic skills in both languages.

Student Displaying Work

In alignment with our district vision, mission, and Strategic Plan, BVSD is committed to strengthening and expanding our dual language pathways so that students have the opportunity to achieve high levels of bilingualism and biliteracy, academic achievement, and sociocultural competence as they work toward graduation and college and career readiness.
