For application information call Chantal Fernandez at 619-582-5398 or send an email to cfernandez@sandi.net.

The Language Academy is a Magnet integration program. All students must apply with a Magnet application (application for this magnet school) . Applications received between November 1 and February 15 receive priority. These applications are assigned a rank order by the district central office computer after being sorted by grade level according to the high school cluster in which the student resides. Applications received after February 15 are added to the list by date/time received. Siblings of concurrently enrolled students applying between November 1 and February 15 receive priority. Students who are not enrolled must reapply for the following year if they are still interested in the program. Applications do not carry over from year to year.

The Language Academy magnet accepts:

  • Cluster 1: 23% = Clairemont, Henry, La Jolla, Point Loma, Scripps Ranch, University City
  • Cluster 2: 32% = Kearny, Madison, Mira Mesa, Mission Bay, Morse, Serra
  • Cluster 3: 45% = Crawford, Lincoln, Hoover, San Diego

Additional information about eligibility requirements, transportation, and other magnet programs is available by calling the San Diego City Schools Enrollment Options Office at 619-725-5672.

Language Requirements

A language assessment is administered to all students for the immersion programs. Students applying in kindergarten and first grade must be:

  • fluent in English for the French Immersion Program; or
  • fluent in English or Spanish for the Spanish Dual Immersion Program.
  • Students entering beyond first grade must also demonstrate literacy levels comparable to those achieved by immersion students at that grade level in: French and English for the French immersion program; or Spanish and English for the Spanish Dual Immersion Program

Come Join Us! Tours of the school are scheduled once a month throughout the school year on the 1st Wednesday of the month at 9:00 a.m. We share information regarding our programs and visit classrooms to demonstrate and experience the unique aspects of our school. This is also a good opportunity for parents to ask questions and gain a clear understanding of the commitment required for a language immersion program.
