At Bend International School, our goal is to build a bilingual community where Spanish is naturally woven into daily learning. In kindergarten and first grade, students develop foundational vocabulary through games, songs, and interactive lessons in a bilingual environment. As they progress through the primary grades, Spanish use increases across subjects, supported by bilingual teachers who blend both languages throughout the day. Instruction often follows the Total Physical Response (TPR) method, combining movement and language for engaging, hands-on learning.
