DiLoreto Programming
Why DiLoreto Elementary and Middle School?
DiLoreto has a diverse and multicultural history that promotes academic learning in both Spanish and English for our learners. We have two programs that run at Diloreto: our Spanish Language Development Program and Dos en Uno, CSDNB’s Dual Language Immersion program in Spanish. The goal of both of these programs is to promote cultural diversity, equity, and multilingualism. Both programs celebrate the idea that knowing a second language is an asset in many ways.
Spanish Language Development Program
The Spanish Language Development Program provides the day’s instruction in English, with a regular period of Spanish as a World Language class during Academic Arts.
Dos en Uno Program
The Dos en Uno program provides students with intensive academic instruction in Spanish and English. The goal for these students is to be fluent in reading, writing, and speaking in both languages by being immersed in Spanish language learning starting in Kindergarten and eventually working towards a 50:50 model from Grade 2-Grade 5.
