Dual Language
We are thrilled to offer the Spanish dual language program at our school.
Fifth-grade students currently enrolled in a dual language program in Highline Public Schools will be automatically enrolled in the dual language program at Pacific Middle School. The program is also open to students with strong Spanish skills who are not currently enrolled in dual language.
Program Structure
Students in our dual language program receive half of their instruction in English and half in Spanish, including Spanish language arts, taught by qualified bilingual teachers. Dual language students will also participate in a bilingual advisory class. The program includes native speakers of English, Spanish and many other languages.
Goals
- Become bilingual and biliterate
- Achieve at high levels academically in BOTH languages
- Develop sociocultural competence
- Develop critical consciousness
