Bilingual Spanish Education Program is a full-time program of instruction in which both Spanish and English are used to teach the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills. The amount of instruction in each language is aligned with students’ level of proficiency in the native language and in English along with their level of academic achievement. The English development component of the instructional framework is designed to develop proficiency in listening, speaking, reading, and writing.

Corpus Christi ISD's Transitional bilingual/early exit model is a bilingual program in which students identified as English learners are served in both English and Spanish and are prepared to meet reclassification criteria to be successful in English-only instruction not earlier than two or later than five years after the student enrolls in school.
