| How does Spanish Immersion work in middle school? What classes are taught in Spanish, and which are in English? Thanks! |

| Our kid is in 6th grade French immersion at SSIMS. I assume it's the same as Spanish immersion though. SSIMS is on a block schedule, so 8 classes with 4 per day, alternating even and odd periods. 3 of 8 are in French - 2 French language (one period per day) and 1 world studies. The other 5 periods are taught in English (science, math, health/PE, English, elective). Since they have 2 periods of French language, they have one less elective than those who are not in immersion. |

| Yes, it's the same for Spanish immersion. |

| The ES students coming from two-way (ie, half day) Spanish immersion is probably going to be different. Not sure what their MS program is. |

I think the two-way immersion ES programs started in 2017, so those kids may not have reached middle school yet. |

Oh that's true, good point. The immersion students got a notice saying that TWI students have a MS pathway starting 2023-24 school year. Not sure the specifics but I'd imagine it'd be similar to the half-day Chinese MS path, which is just one foreign language class. |

The one at Kemp Mill has been around for decades, but they just went to the local MS and didn’t do anything special. |
