Multilingual Programs
CFBISD's Dual Language Program is dedicated to preparing students to be bilingual, biliterate, academically strong, and culturally competent—equipping them to make a meaningful impact in a global community.
In our dual language programs (both one-way and two-way), students learn both their native language and a target language through an immersive, language-rich, research-based environment. The program's goal is to build fluency and proficiency in both languages. This experience fosters pride in one's own culture while promoting an understanding of others. Learning another language truly is a passport to the world!

CFBISD's two-way dual language program allows Spanish and English native speakers the opportunity to learn two languages through cooperative learning and collaboration.
