About South Ranchito Dual Language Academy

South Ranchito Dual Language Academy has taught in two languages since August 2015 and is home to El Rancho Unified's Spanish Dual Language Immersion program in Pico Rivera. We serve transitional kindergarten through 5th grade, plus a dual language preschool where young children learn through play, songs, movement and daily routines in English and Spanish.

From TK through first grade we follow a 90/10 model, with most instruction in Spanish. The share of English grows each year until 5th grade, when the day is split evenly between Spanish and English. Students learn the same standards and grade-level material as every other district student, in two languages. After 5th grade they can continue the pathway at Rivera Middle School and El Rancho High School and work toward the California State Seal of Biliteracy.

Our clubs include Folklorico, Artime, Student Council, and a CAASPP Academy and Chromebook Club. Families can ask for extra help through our student support referral process, and parents of English learners meet through our English Learner Advisory Committee.
