Two-Way Dual Language Program

We are pleased to offer the Two-Way Dual Language Program. We work closely with the Dallas ISD World Lanugages and Bilingual ESL departments to ensure the best possible bicultural, bi-literate, and bilingual instruction.

The dual language program features instruction in Spanish for reading, social studies, and math as part of our curriculum. Our goal is to prepare students to be bilingual, biculutral, and bi-literate in order to graduate and be college-and-career ready in a global and competitive economy.

Our two-way program integrates English-speaking and Spanish-speaking students to support the goal of academic excellence and bilingual proficiency for both groups. At Kramer Elementary, the Two-Way Dual Language Enrichment Model is set up to maximize language acquisition while meeting the rigor of Texas State Standards in content areas.
