School Overview

Dual Language Academy sits in Seaside, a working-class city tucked right next to Monterey that has a long military history thanks to its proximity to Fort Ord and a deeply rooted Latino community. The school's bilingual focus — building genuine fluency in both English and Spanish across K-8 — makes it a natural fit for families who want their kids to grow up truly bilingual, whether Spanish is already spoken at home or not. It's a mission-driven school in a culturally rich corner of the Peninsula, and for the right family, that focus on language and community identity is worth far more than a test-score ranking.
