Briarcrest Elementary School is the proud home of Shoreline School District's Dual Language program at the elementary level. There is a dual language classroom at each grade, Kindergarten - grade 5.
The program is a "two-way, 80/20 model."
- Two-way means that each class is comprised of about 50% Spanish speakers and 50% non-Spanish speakers.
- 80/20 refers to the language allocation at the younger grades: 80% of the day in Spanish and 20% in English
The Dual Language program is an essential part of who we are at Briarcrest. We are proud that Spanish is all around our school: at recess, decorating our walls, in the library, and echoing in our hallways.
The three goals for all participating students are:
- Bilingualism and biliteracy
- High academic achievement
- Cross-cultural understanding
