Preschool-8 Amigos is the Spanish/English dual language immersion school, open to all students in the Cambridge Public Schools (subject to availability). The program is designed for native Spanish speakers, bilingual and heritage Spanish speakers as well as native English speakers to develop speaking, listening, reading and writing skills in both languages while realizing their academic potential in all of their academic subjects. The program delivers rigorous, grade level instruction in both languages daily. Within day-to-day learning, intentional decisions to elevate the cultures and traditions where Spanish is the official language or a dominant language (including Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, Venezuela, Spain and Puerto Rico) distinguishes this program from a general education classroom.
