Language Immersion.
Children have a wonderful ability to acquire language. Dual language learning contributes to the children’s rapidly developing brains as well as exposes them to the notion that there is a broader world around them, full of culture and diverse people. Our primary classroom is fully Spanish immersion and our toddler community offers Spanish bilingualism for a globally-minded education.
We offer Spanish language to all children enrolled in the program and intend to offer French language beginning in our elementary program beginning in the Fall of 2023, to develop multilingual graduates.
“This school is authentic Spanish immersion and the kids are thriving within this environment. I was skeptical at first, thinking that a full immersion program could lead to less proficiency in English (kinda silly thinking about it now). The reality is that my older kid now communicates with Spanish speakers... in Spanish, while I am sitting on the sidelines asking “wait, what does that mean?”. Yes, my 6 year old is translating and teaching me Spanish... in broad day light... in public. I’m embarrassed and proud at the same time.”
“Our mind, as it is, would not be able to do what the child’s mind does. To develop a language from nothing needs a different type of mentality. This the child has. His intelligence is not the same kind as ours.”
