The Spanish Full Immersion Program will be K-5 beginning with Kindergarten and expanding by one grade every year through grade 5. French Immersion is K-8 with continuity for 9-12 as Partial Immersion at Central High school.
During Kindergarten and first grade, students will not receive English Language Arts classes. They will begin receiving English Language Arts in second grade. The goal for this program is to immerse students in the language using the one-way immersion model of instruction.

The Spanish/French Language will be used as the main language in Mathematics, Science and Social Studies and Reading/Language Arts. Specials/Electives are taught in the language where possible as the program grows.
