The English-Spanish Dual Language Immersion programs at Lakeland and John Ruhrah teach students bilingualism and biliteracy, focus on grade-level achievement, and encourage socio-cultural competency. Students receive instruction in both English and Spanish throughout the school day, which helps them gain competency and confidence in their speaking, reading, and understanding of both languages. | Baltimore City Public Schools
