Beginning in the 2024-25 school year, Barnes is pleased to announce we are now Beaverton’s only schoolwide Billingual Program serving students PreK to 5th Grade. Barnes’ program is “dual language” because it provides the same academic content and standards as any other elementary school in the Beaverton School District. Still, the students learn in Spanish for a minimum of 50% of the day. As part of a pre-K-12th grade pathway, students become bilingual, bi-literate, and bicultural. Studying in two languages has proven to help all students achieve higher academic levels in both English and Spanish.
