Immersion means that teachers communicate only in Spanish while teaching students. They learn through pictures, sounds, and nonverbal cues. The goal of language immersion is for students to become proficient in a second language and develop cultural awareness while learning content.

We currently offer Spanish Immersion through fifth grade, and we are adding a sixth grade immersion option for the 2021-22 school year. Students are immersed in Spanish while they learn Minnesota Academic Standards in math, science, reading, and writing.
