Dual Language

Lewisville ISD's Dual Language program provides a research-based, instructional model for second language acquisition for native Spanish-speaking students who are acquiring English as a second language. LISD also offers Dual Language opportunities for Non-Native Spanish-speaking students to learn Spanish as a Second Language with their native Spanish-speaking peers. There are two models, which vary by campus:

• Two-Way: students who are learning Spanish as a second language (Spanish Learners) and students who are learning English as a second language (English Learners) are in the same classroom.  They learn all core subjects in both languages and support one another in learning the other language. 
  • Campus Participating in this Model:
    • Creekside
    • Independence
    • Parkway
    • Peters Colony
    • Prairie Trail
    • Vickery

• One-Way: all students are learning English as their second language.
• Campus Participating in this Model:
  • • Central
    • Lakeland
    • Lewisville
    • Mill St.
    • Southridge

While both models use the same basic curriculum as other LISD classes, the Dual Language program integrates Language Arts and Reading skills in Spanish.
