[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The immersion schools are just as much about teaching English-as-a-first-language kids Spanish. They do a great job at that - the kids are coming out with Spanish proficiency. We were extremely happy with our immersion school.[/quote] That's actually really great to hear. We're just concerned that we'll be at a disadvantage because we don't speak the language at home. Especially if we end up being in the extreme minority.[/quote] Well, and the dual immersion schools (Key and Claremont) have a very specific language-teaching approach, where half the day is taught in Spanish and half the day is taught in English. It's not the same thing as a non-immersion school that happens to have a high number of ESL kids. If you want a language-immersion experience, you want to seek out Key or Claremont (depending on which you're zoned for). I can't speak to what it's like in a non-immersion school with a high number of ESL kids. [/quote]
