What is a Dual Language Immersion (DLI) Program?

Our DLI program is research-based to give your student a fully-immersive language learning setting to help your student become successfully bilingual and bicultural in a growing diverse world. Studies prove that learning a second language improves cognitive abilities along with strengthening math and reading skills. Our DLI is completely free for all EMCSD students.

Any child who turns 5 between September 2, 2024, and June 2, 2025, is eligible to start TK in the 2024-25 school year. Any student who turns age 5 by September 1, 2024 will be eligible to be enrolled in Kindergarten.
