BREADCRUMB

Dual Language Immersion

Picture of five kindergartners walking from behind with graduation caps on

Beginning in kindergarten, District 742 families choose between a traditional English classroom or a Dual Language Immersion classroom in either Spanish or Chinese, giving their child the opportunity to learn a second language! These programs immerse students in a second language, allowing them to become bilingual at an early age.

Chinese Immersion at Madison Elementary is available for all District 742 students regardless of where they reside. Spanish Immersion at Clearview Elementary is open to students who reside on the south side of the District 742 attendance area while students on the north side can participate in Spanish Immersion at Westwood Elementary. 

Chinese and Spanish Immersion are also available for families who reside outside of the District 742 attendance area through open enrollment.
