The Spanish FLAG program encompasses our mission in education in the 21st century and in the fully of implementation of the Common Core State Standards from a bilingual and biliterate perspective. The program develops long-life learners who are scholars, historians, and strong bilingual communicators. At Toll, students take two classes in Spanish: Ms. María Capdevila-Gutiérrez teaches 7th and 8th Spanish Language Arts, and Dr. Jordi Solsona-Puig teaches World History (7th) and U.S. History (8th). Additionally, the SFLAG students take the AAPPL and DELE tests annually to monitor their language progress.
The Spanish FLAG program at Toll exposes students to a well-rounded and balanced curriculum that includes an appreciation for the arts. Students in the Spanish FLAG program are culturally aware and sensitive individuals on a global scale. Most importantly, the students, parents, and staff who involve themselves with the Spanish dual immersion program at Toll are a tight-knit and caring entity that can many times is described as the SFLAG “family”.- This is a link to some of our video-projects in the SFLAG program.

Students in the elementary Spanish dual language immersion program spend 90% of their day learning in Spanish and 10% learning in English starting in transitional kindergarten (available at Muir Elementary only) and kindergarten. The percentage of English increases annually until 50% of the day is taught in Spanish and 50% in English by 5th grade. Students learn to speak, read, and write in Spanish through content, not as a separate course of study.
