What is a Two-Way Immersion Program?
Two-Way Immersion programs integrate native English speaking students with native Spanish speaking students. Academic instruction is presented in both languages. Social and academic learning occurs in an environment that values the language and culture of all students and sets high standards to reach the goal of achieving academic success in both English and Spanish.
Classrooms are comprised of 50% native English speakers and 50% Spanish speakers. This ratio enables students to be languages models and second language learners.
