About the Learning Program

As a Spanish Immersion school, all classes are taught in Spanish for students in K-1. In second grade and up students receive instruction in reading and writing in English while receiving their other lessons such as social studies, mathematics, science, technology, arts, and physical education in Spanish. As children progress through the program, more time is added daily to address the English component.
