Twin Cities Language School Receives Mixed Reviews
Superior parents are split about a district plan to convert an elementary school to teach in a foreign language.A group of administrators and school board members is holding community meetings to gauge parental interest in sending their kids to a language immersion program.
Immersion schools are taught completely in a foreign language to ensure students learn the language completely. The program is designed to produce students fluent in a second language while improving their efficiency in other curricular areas, said Janna Stevens, Bryant Elementary School principal. English is introduced into an immersion school’s curriculum starting in the third grade and is phased in until the second language is limited to few hours a week by high school.
