The Corona-Norco Unified School District recognizes
the importance of preparing students for the 21st century and is proud to offer the
Dual Language Immersion program at six elementary schools, two intermediate,
and two high schools. This program affords students the opportunity to learn
Spanish and English or Mandarin and English in a proficient manner. Students
who participate in the Dual Language Immersion program from TK through 12th
grade become biliterate and develop an appreciation for multiculturalism. The
program also prepares students with the college and career readiness skills
they need to compete in a globalized society.
The Spanish program reflects the 90:10 model
where the instructional day consists of 90% Spanish and 10% English in
Kindergarten, increasing to 50% English and 50% Spanish by fourth grade. At the
secondary level, instruction consists of approximately 30% Spanish and 70%
English. Students committed to the full TK – 12 DLI program, achieve the
greatest benefit of participating in the Dual Language Immersion program.
Starting with the 2020-21 school year, Rondo
Elementary will have a foreign
language immersion program for native English speakers learning Mandarin.
The program will implement the 50:50 model in which 50% of the instructional
day consists of English instruction and 50% is in Mandarin. The program is a
K-6 program.
