DUAL LANGUAGE IMMERSION PROGRAM
The Dual Language Immersion Program in Spanish (also known as Spanish Immersion Program) extends from kindergarten through fifth grade and has been running since the school opened in August 2008. Liberty Elementary was accepted in the International Spanish Academies (ISA) in 2013, joining the educational network sponsored by the Embassy of Spain.
