Los Lagos Bilingual Academy

At Los Lagos Bilingual Academy, we believe that bilingualism is a powerful asset in today’s interconnected world. Our Dual Language Immersion program provides students with the opportunity to develop fluency in both Spanish and English, starting in kindergarten.

Through an immersive approach—beginning with 90% of instruction in Spanish and gradually balancing to 50/50 by 4th grade—students build strong language skills, achieve high academic standards, and grow in cultural understanding. Our program is rooted in the three pillars of dual language education: bilingualism and biliteracy, academic excellence, and cross-cultural competence.

Bilingual learners not only gain a cognitive and academic edge, but also become better equipped to contribute in an increasingly global society. Los Lagos Bilingual Academy serves students in grades K–5, with continued Spanish language pathways available through West Ottawa’s secondary schools.
