Spanish Partial Immersion Program

Partial immersion is a means of acquiring a world language through content matter instruction. In the program, students develop communicative and academic proficiency in the target language while succeeding academically in all subject areas at levels comparable to those they would have reached if they had been schooled only in English.

At the elementary school level, immersion students spend half the day studying math and science curriculum in the target language.  The other half of the day is taught in English learning English language arts and social studies curriculum.

At the middle school level, the students take two courses in the target language: a language arts course and a project-based course that explores real-world problems and cultural practices. Languages offered in our partial immersion program include French, Spanish, and Chinese.

At the high school level, students take one language class each year with the opportunity to earn college credits through an AP course.
