[quote=Anonymous]Yes. My friend's kid in the 5th grade can read at least at grade level in French, probably better, he is a smart kid. My PK child can follow directions and understand French, but is still hesitant to do much talking, but it is clear that he knows a lot of French. And, when he does speak, his accent is excellent. The school just switched to full immersion classroom model for upper grades (2.5 days a week in a classroom where only French is spoken, 2.5 in English). This should serve to further improve learning in the target language. However, because the school does not exclude students from entering the school at higher grades, there are a number of students in the upper level classrooms that are way behind in the target language (and often in English). But, those kids who have been in the school since K are doing very well in the target language.[/quote]
