What is Dual Language?

The Wharton Elementary Dual Language philosophy promotes both Spanish and English as languages of equal value. We feel that by placing importance on both languages we are not only preparing our students for the multi-lingual, multicultural world we are living in, but they are also learning the importance and value in respecting other cultures in our increasingly global society.

Wharton is an International Spanish Academy!
Wharton Elementary was named an International Spanish Academy (ISA) from Spain's Ministerio de Educacion y Ciencia in 2007. ISAs are part of an international cooperative educational project in English and Spanish between public schools in the U.S. and Canada and the Ministry of Education and Culture of Spain.

Help Us Earn Wamoola for Wharton!

A smart, simple way to make a difference every day. With the WaMoola for Schools® Program, you can support Wharton every time you make a purchase with your Washington Mutual Debit MasterCard®. Our partnership with Washington Mutual has enabled us to earn $1,806.08 for 2008. In fact, we are still one of Wamu's Top 10 Schools in Texas!

As of September 25, 2008, all WaMu customer deposits are now deposits of JPMorgan Chase.

What’s changing?
Beginning February 22, 2009, no new enrollments will be accepted into the WaMoola for Schools program. In addition, the Year-to-Date point totals for schools will be updated on a quarterly basis beginning in mid-July of 2009.

What stays the same?
As a WaMoola for Schools participant, you will continue to earn points for your designated school when you make purchases with your WaMu or Chase debit card. And, WaMu, now backed by the strength of Chase, will make donations to schools and organizations supporting education for points earned throughout 2009.

Help our school through Take Charge of Education®.
We’ve discovered a terrific way to raise funds for our school. It’s super-easy, and once you’re enrolled, all you have to do is use your Target REDCard.SM

Our school will receive a percentage of the amount of each purchase in the form of a cash donation from Target through the Take Charge of Education program. Just click on the image above to visit Target.com/tcoe, or call 1-800-316-6142 to designate our school.

If you’re already enrolled, please consider using your Target REDcard when you shop. Thanks for doing your part to make a great school even better!
