Elementary Dual Immersion Programs 

Hello! Hola! Ni hao! Newport-Mesa Unified School District offers Spanish and Mandarin Dual Immersion Programs to prepare the next generation of bilingual and biliterate global citizens.
The Mandarin Immersion at College Park Elementary and Spanish Immersion at Whittier Elementary go beyond a traditional language class, these programs include everything a traditional English-only class offers, but in both languages.
There are multiple educational and career benefits that multilingual students accrue, including:
Academic Achievement: Students attain high levels of academic achievement in both languages due to increased cognitive skills and problem-solving abilities.
Bilingualism & Biliteracy: Students acquire strategic thinking, listening, speaking, reading and writing proficiency in both languages.
Sociocultural Competence: Students develop positive attitudes and appreciation toward world languages and cultures in our global society, promoting their involvement in world issues.
