Multilingual Programs in New Mexico Interactive Map

We created this map for New Mexican families and community members looking for bilingual and multilingual school programs. You can use the filters to search for programs by grade, language, county, and immersion model. We are still in the process of adding more programs, so the current map does not contain an exhaustive list of all multilingual schools in New Mexico.

Glossary of terms:

Many of the schools we have added are based on the Bilingual Multicultural Educational Programs (BMEP) models and use these terms for the level of immersion. You can filter by these 5 terms as defined here:

• Dual Language Immersion (DLI): designed to develop proficiency in two languages
• Enrichment: designed to further develop the home language of fully English proficient students
• Heritage: designed to support and revitalize a student’s heritage language and culture through oral and written communication
• Maintenance: designed to develop and maintain proficiency and literacy in the home language while developing a student’s literacy and oral skills in English
• Transitional: designed to develop skills in the home language and culture while developing continued skills and proficiency in English
