Dual Language
We are thrilled to offer the Spanish and Vietnamese dual language programs at our school.
Fifth-grade students currently enrolled in a dual language program in Highline Public Schools will be automatically enrolled in the dual language program at Cascade Middle School. The program is also open to students with strong Spanish or Vietnamese skills who are not currently enrolled in dual language.
Program Structure
Students in our dual language program receive 50% of their instruction in English and 50% in Spanish or Vietnamese and are taught by qualified bilingual teachers. The program includes native speakers of English, Spanish, Vietnamese and many other languages. Students have at least one language arts course and one content course taught in Spanish or Vietnamese.
