CSD is home to eight Dual Immersion Language Programs: Mandarin Chinese-English programs are at Draper, Lone Peak and Ridgecrest elementary schools; French-English programs are at Butler and Oak Hollow elementary schools; and Spanish-English classes are taught at Alta View, Silver Mesa and Midvale elementary schools.

All programs, except for the Midvale program, are for students entering first grade for the 2014-2015 school year. The Midvale Spanish-English dual-language immersion program is for students entering kindergarten for the 2014-2015 school year.

A lottery will be held to determine entrance into the programs if the number of applications is greater than the number of space available in the classes.
