Philosophy/Belief Statement:

Woodcrest is an elementary Spanish Immersion school with a diverse staff serving students in grades K-4. We have created a bilingual school culture that reflects high expectations for students, staff and families, resulting in high achievement for students in both English and Spanish.
At Woodcrest, all core subjects, and all interactions between students and teachers are done in Spanish. Beginning in grade three, students experience a dual literacy program; with language arts instruction in both English and Spanish, resulting in students who can learn, read, write and speak in both languages by the time they enter middle school.
We are proud of the opportunities we provide for our students and families to experience a broader world-view. We believe language is the portal to any culture, and we hope a bilingual education will expand our collective world-view and increase access to multiple world cultures for all of our students.
