Welcome to Grand View's Spanish Immersion Program, the first and only 90:10 immersion model in all of LAUSD. Celebrating 30 years—the longest running LAUSD Spanish Immersion program—we offer students the opportunity to learn a rigorous curriculum in a nurturing environment, all while becoming fluent and biliterate in two languages.
Our fully-credentialed, bilingual teachers have an average of 10 years experience, and include National Board Certified Teachers. We follow the same state curriculum frameworks and grade level content standards as all public elementary schools in California.
Your Commitment
Families are asked to commit to our Spanish Immersion Program through 5th grade to achieve our goals of fluency and literacy for students in both English and Spanish, and prepare them for future success. Our program spans ETK, TK, Kindergarten and 1st through 5th grade.
After elementary school, students have the opportunity to keep their language skills growing strong right here on LA's Westside at Mark Twain Middle School's Dual Language Program and Venice High School's World Languages and Global Studies Magnet.

Why Immersion? by The Center for Advanced Research on Language Acquisition (CARLA) at Univ. of Minnesota
Kindergarten students at Grand View are immersed using the 90:10 model. They begin with 90% academic instruction in Spanish, with approximately 10% more English added each year until 4th and 5th grades, when the instruction is 50% English and 50% Spanish. Why?
Studies show that students who are more fully immersed early on in the 90:10 model vs. the 50:50 model achieve higher levels of bilinguism. Grand View is the first and the only LAUSD school to offer 90:10 Spanish Immersion since 1990.
