The Tarrytown dual language program provides students with the opportunity to learn a second language while continuing to develop their native language proficiency. Students are exposed to the same curriculum as their peers while also having the opportunity to learn a second language.

Dual language classes include a balance of students from Spanish-language and English-language backgrounds who participate together in instructional activities presented in two languages.
