Spanish Immersion in the Elementary School
In elementary school, students begin their journey toward bilingualism and biliteracy.
In addition to learning academic content in a second language, students’ eyes are opened to the beautiful diversity that God has put into our community and our world by learning about different people, cultures, and countries.
The experience of learning in an immersion program helps students develop critical soft skills such as grit, perseverance, and problem solving as they navigate communicating in a second language.
