Dual-Language Spanish Immersion
Program
Application Code: 0480PA (Optional Program)
Hawthorne’s program is designed to provide a daily
Spanish immersion experience that prepares students
to read, write, and speak proficiently in Spanish. The
students (kindergarten through fifth grade) receive daily
math and science instruction in Spanish from certified,
Spanish-speaking teachers. Other content areas are
taught in English. Students also benefit from cultural
enrichment in a Spanish arts class, which meets twice
a week and combines the arts with Spanish language
and culture learning. Hawthorne’s program benefits
both students who are learning Spanish as a second
language and students who are learning English as a
second language. In addition, the Hawthorne community
is a dual-language community with an expressed
appreciation of language learning and inclusion of
diverse cultural experiences. Because this program is
an Optional Program, transportation is provided only for
Cluster 13 students.
