Our DLI Schools

Dual Language Immersion schools include Garfield Elementary, Lincoln Elementary, Linus Pauling Middle School, and Corvallis High School.

Students living within the neighborhood school boundary areas of Garfield and Lincoln schools have enrollment priority, enrollment for students in other school boundary areas is decided by a lottery. DLI begins in kindergarten, with students from both language groups working and learning together throughout their elementary careers.

Dual Language Immersion Overview

DLI helps prepare all students to meet the academic, social, and linguistic challenges of living in a global society. In addition to becoming fluent in another language besides English, students learn to appreciate other cultures and come to a deeper understanding of their own.
