The West Liberty Community School District Dual Language Program believes all students, regardless of culture or language, come to school with assets, that set of unique experiences and skills that when shared with others, enrich the social, cultural, and educational environments of the classroom and the school.

West Liberty Elementary, Middle School, and High School are all International Spanish Academies (ISAs). These Academies employ a bilingual curriculum for all or part of their student body and sign a collaborative agreement with the Ministry of Education of Spain. The International Spanish Academy program is carried out within the framework of cooperative activities organized by the Office of Education of Spain in the U.S. and Canada and North American education authorities.

West Liberty CSD is a proud member of the ISA program. The International Spanish Academy (ISA) program is an educational outreach initiative of the Ministry of Education of Spain where high-performing schools in the United States and Canada implement a Spanish- English dual language immersion curriculum with the Ministry's support and recognition.
