Why DiLoreto Elementary and Middle School?
DiLoreto has a diverse and multicultural history that promotes academic learning in both Spanish and English for our learners. We have two programs that run at Diloreto: our Spanish Language Development Program and Dos en Uno, CSDNB’s Dual Language Immersion program in Spanish. The goal of both of these programs is to promote cultural diversity, equity, and multilingualism. Both programs celebrate the idea that knowing a second language is an asset in many ways.

There are TWO Different Language Programs at DiLoreto!
The DiLoreto Elementary and Middle School school-wide lottery and the Dos en Uno Dual Language Program lottery are both scheduled to take place in early 2024. The DiLoreto Elementary and Middle School school-wide lottery and the Dos en Uno Dual Language Program lottery are two separate lotteries. Read below to learn more about each program, eligibility requirements, and the entrance process.
*Please note, incoming kindergarten students are eligible for BOTH programs.

1. DiLoreto Elementary and Middle School will launch its annual lottery application process this spring for all students entering kindergarten through 8th grade. All eligible students districtwide will be automatically entered into the lottery. This process is new for the 2024-25 school year. No parent/guardian action will be required. Accepted families will be identified and contacted in May 2024.

Accepted students will be invited to attend DiLoreto Elementary and Middle School and participate in the school’s Spanish Language Development Program. The Spanish Language Development Program provides the day’s instruction in English, with a regular period of Spanish as a World Language class during Academic Arts.

2. The Dos en Uno Dual Language Program lottery application for the 2024-2025 school year closed on March 1, 2024. This is an annual process that will reopen in early 2025.

The Dos en Uno program provides students with intensive academic instruction in Spanish and English. The goal for these students is to be fluent in reading, writing, and speaking in both languages by being immersed in Spanish language learning starting in Kindergarten and eventually working towards a 50:50 model from Grade 2-Grade 5.
