Spanish Immersion
In 2015-16, CTA-Liberty introduced a Spanish Dual Language Immersion (DLI) Program at first grade that follows the 50/50 model. For one-half of the school day, students learn the English Language Arts in English; for the other one-half of the day, students learn math, science, and social studies in Spanish.
Currently, our Dual Language Immersion program is offered from kindergarten through 6th grade. Learn more about our DLI program for K-12 on CUSD's website at cusd80.com/DLI.
We also offer Pre K Dual Language Exploration through CUSD Community Education.
