We're the Conejo Valley’s first Spanish-English DLI Program

Welcome to the Conejo Academy of Leadership and Language! We are home to the Conejo Valley’s first Spanish-English Dual Language Immersion (DLI) Program. 

DLI is a research-proven instructional approach that prepares students to think, read and write in two languages, resulting in students becoming bilingual, biliterate and multicultural.

Our Dual Language Immersion Program follows a 50/50 model, meaning that half of a student's instruction time is in English and half is in Spanish. At each grade level, the amount of instruction time in English and in Spanish remains the same (50/50) and is considered a "simultaneous literacy" model, as developing literacy in Spanish and English are focused on simultaneously. The 50/50 model requires a closely aligned curricular program where instruction in key content areas, such as language arts and math, so that the skills are not retaught in both languages, but rather are built upon in each language.
