Schools > Spanish Immersion K-12

In this program, English-Speaking students begin at kindergarten or first grade and receive almost all of their subject matter instruction in Spanish. After the fifth grade, students have the option of continuing in the middle school and high school programs.

The goals of the program are for students to develop the abilities to communicate (understand, speak, read and write) in Spanish on a level approximating that of a pupil who is a native Spanish speaker. In addition, students will learn all of the regular subject matter and develop their English language competencies as well.

K-5 Program is at Puesta del Sol Elementary ; 6-8 Program is at Tillicum Middle School; 9-12 Program is at Newport High School.

 


Puesta del Sol Elementary  will host a Spanish Immersion Information Night in January of 2010, for parents of potential 2010-11 kindergartners. Meeting information will be post in early January 2010.
