Little Lake City School District is proud to offer Dual Language Immersion for incoming TK and Kindergarten students for the 2025-2026 School Year!
Dual Language Immersion School:
William Orr Elementary
12130 Jersey Ave.
Norwalk, CA 90650
Transitional Kindergarten and Kindergarten Only – Space is limited
Dual Language Immersion is a unique educational model where children learn to think, read, write, and communicate in two languages: English and the target language, Spanish. The program is designed to help students develop proficiency and academic competency in both languages. The ultimate goal is that students will be bilingual and biliterate by fifth grade. The language instructional model begins with a 90:10 model in Transitional Kindergarten and Kindergarten, meaning that students begin the program with 90% of their instruction in Spanish, and 10% in English. The amount of English instruction increases at first grade until there is a 50/50 balance of Spanish and English.
90/10 – TK and Kindergarten
80/20 – First Grade
70/30 – Second Grade
60/40 – Third Grade
50/50 – Fourth and Fifth Grade
In addition, the ideal composition of the class is 50% Native Spanish speakers, and 50% English speakers.
