​A public magnet school, DIAS is the fourth school in Salinas City Elementary School District (SCESD) to offer a Spanish dual immersion language program. It is the first school to offer only dual immersion Spanish classes. ​DIAS  was the first school in  the district to offer a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) curriculum. STEAM encourages unique solutions, inventive thinking and problem solving. We invite you to search our website for information about our dual immersion program, admissions, academics, frequently asked questions, Parent-Teacher Organization and much more. ​
