Spanish Immersion Program
NOW ENROLLING
In recent years, scientists have begun to show that the advantages of bilingualism are even more fundamental than being able to converse with a wider range of people.
“Being bilingual, as it turns out, makes you smarter. It can have a profound effect on your brain, improving cognitive skills not related to language and even shielding against dementia in old age.” The above quote is an excerpt from Why Bilinguals Are Smarter, written by Yudhijit Bhattacharjee, science writer for The New York Times 2012.
We will introduce your child to the language through methodology of “easy and active immersion.” Your child will start with the basics and as with mastering any new skill, regular (and fun) practice makes a big difference in how quickly a child becomes comfortable speaking another language. We accept a mix of children at different levels of language proficiency including absolute beginners. Our program introduces children to reading, writing, scientific exploration and numbers.

Approach
An “education for life” starts today
Our Vision
“A world where all children have the ability to globally communicate, relate and partner with each other to provide the necessary leadership to address, resolve and/or prevent global issues”
Our Mission
“To ensure children are linguistically, culturally and academically prepared to succeed in our global environment because together we are much stronger than apart.”
How do we accomplish our mission?
We see each child as an individual! Our staff assesses each child to identify their key strengths and opportunities. Each teacher is held to a high academic standard, a native language speaker, and is fully equipped to ensure that each child has a strong educational foundation to meet and exceed upcoming educational requirements. We feel that each class is a building block towards a strong academic foundation and your child’s future. Our goal is to have each child reading, writing, problem solving and fluently speaking in both the selected target language and English.
