Two-Way Spanish Program to Start Más Temprano

Capo Unified is starting a dual-immersion program for preschoolers next year.

The popular Two-Way Spanish immersion program will be extended to preschoolers come September.

The Capistrano Unified School District started the Two-Way program in 1992 at Las Palmas Elementary in San Clemente. It's since been extended to two more elementary schools – San Juan Elementary in San Juan Capistrano and Viejo Elementary in Mission Viejo – and two middle schools and two high schools.

But now, parents wanting their children to grow up biliterate can get an even faster start. The Two-Way preschool will be a full immersion program for preschoolers. Classes will be offered at San Juan and Viejo Elementary, according to an email that went out from San Juan Elementary.

Open enrollment dates are listed on the preschool website.
