South San Antonio ISD: A Dual Language District
Our vision: Empowering our students to reach for academic achievements as bilingual, bi-literate, and bicultural global leaders in a multicultural society.
"Excelencia y Orgullo"
What is Dual Language?
- Your child will learn how to read, write and speak in both English and Spanish.
- Classrooms will be comprised of both Spanish speakers and English speakers.
- At the early grade levels, Spanish is used for most of the student’s instructional day, gradually increasing the amount of English instruction until students are receiving half of the instruction in each language by 4th grade.
- The native language and culture of each student are valued and honored to promote a bicultural community in the school.
