The Compañeros program is offered at all three elementary schools (Bridgewater, Greenvale Park and Spring Creek) in grades 1–5. It is a two-way immersion program where students learn to speak, read, write and listen in English and Spanish. Students in Compañeros spend half of their day receiving instruction in English and half their day receiving instruction in Spanish. In both Compañeros and Contemporary (traditional classroom setting) classrooms, teachers may incorporate two or three subjects into one lesson to complete integrated projects and activities. Compañeros and Contemporary teachers may collaborate during reading and math to meet the instructional needs of the students during a flexible group time.
