What is Dual Language Immersion?

Dual Language Immersion is a general education program designed to help students become biliterate and culturally competent in a global community.

The Utah State Dual Language Immersion Elementary Model follows a 50:50 model design where the instructional day in grades K-6 is divided between two high-quality classrooms, each for fifty percent of the instructional time. In this fifty-fifty model, students spend half of their school day in the immersion language and the other half-day in English. All state-sponsored programs are required to use two teachers, one who instructs exclusively in the immersion language for half of the day and a second teacher who teaches exclusively in English the other half of the day. In the elementary school it is a full-day comprehensive program.

Applications must be submitted by January 30, 2026 before the student enters 1st grade.
