Pasadena Unified Dual Language Immersion

Pasadena Unified Dual Language Immersion programs develop bilingualism in English plus French, Mandarin, or Spanish using a 90:10 elementary model that moves toward 50:50 by 4th grade. Named sites include Altadena Arts Magnet for French, Field Elementary for Mandarin, and Spanish immersion options such as Jackson, Longfellow, and San Rafael.

The district FAQ explains target-language instruction and recommends continuous participation through at least 6th grade, which is useful when relatives push for an early English-only switch.
