Dual language Academy of Monterey Peninsula

The Dual Language Academy of the Monterey Peninsula is a Two-Way Bilingual Immersion (TWBI) program. In our TWBI program, students develop dual language proficiency by receiving instruction in both English and Spanish in a linguistically  balanced classroom that is usually comprised of half native Spanish speakers and half English Speakers.

Two-way programs provide both sets of students with ample exposure to the two languages, one language at a time, allowing them to progress and attain academic excellence in both languages while gaining an appreciation for another culture and developing mastery of grade-level content standards.

Program participants and their families are expected to make a minimum commitment of six years (Kindergarten through 5th grade) to fully benefit from the Two-Way Bilingual Immersion model.
