DUAL LANGUAGE IMMERSION


Beginning in August 2016, Eisenhower launched its Dual Language Immersion program, offering students in Kindergarten and immersive experience in both English and Spanish languages. Students enrolled in DLI spend half of their school day with a Spanish-speaking teacher and the other half with the partner English-speaking teacher. Rather than learn Spanish through traditional foreign language approaches, the Spanish-speaking teacher develops students’ Spanish literacy through the Kindergarten content. In 2024, Eisenhower was awarded its status as an International Spanish Academy.
The program is modeled after the Utah Department of Education’s state-funded program, and their research-based model, resources, and best practices help to strengthen Warsaw's program. The Eisenhower DLI students collectively continue to exceed the expected proficiency targets on their yearly STAMP language evaluation thanks to this collaboration.
The continued success of Eisenhower’s DLI program is a result of the ongoing commitment and efforts of WCS’ school board, its administrators, the DLI teachers and support staff, and the students and families.
