Western Gateway Elementary School is going to be the first public school offering bilingual and cross-cultural education.
Enrollment for the brand-new school is now open and school leaders are encouraging parents who are interested to act now.
As of right Tuesday, there are 140 spots available.
The school operates a little differently than traditional school. All the teachers will provide both English and Spanish instruction. The day will be divided in half. Half of the day students will learn in English and half of the day students will learn in Spanish.
Heather Zacarias, superintendent of Western Gateway Elementary School, thinks students who can speak both Spanish and English will have a leg up in the future.
