Bakersfield City School District has expanded their dual immersion program aimed at providing a bilingual education to both native Spanish and English speakers.
Half of the students in dual immersion classes are native English speakers and the other half are native Spanish speakers.
BCSD's dual immersion program begins in kindergarten with 90% of curriculum taught in Spanish and 10% in English. Every year thereafter, more English classroom time is added until class is taught at 50% in each language.
