Parents of students entering kindergarten with English as their first language have the opportunity to participate in the district’s dual language program. Academic subjects are taught in both Spanish and English according to a 90/10 instructional model. In this model, kindergarten students are instructed in Spanish for 90% of their day and in English for the remaining 10% of their instructional time. In each successive year, the amount of English is increased by 10% until fourth grade when 50% of the instructional day is in Spanish and 50% is in English. The goal of this program is for students to become bilingual and biliterate by 5th grade. 

 

Parents who are interested in pursuing enrollment in the dual language program for their child indicate interest as they register their child during Kindergarten Round-Up. During the spring Kindergarten Round-Up, the Boerne ISD Dual Language Program Enrollment Procedures, Parent Checklist, and Frequently Asked Question documents will be provided to parents who sign a roster indicating interest in the program.  Each elementary, whether or not it offers the Dual Language Program, will provide the information and sign-up roster.
