[quote=Anonymous]Not surprisingly this has turned into a thread with non immersion families praying immersion fails.

Another Claremont family here. My youngest is in 1st and in 80% Spanish too (my older didn’t go thru this) and it’s been hard but we’re seeing real signs of growth. Kindergarten can generally be a big transition and your kids brain is absorbing a new language. I would be patient. Claremont is a living community and our experience has been generally quite positive. While I’m sure I’ll be attacked for saying this, Kindergarten is about a lot of things - but learning facts and figures isn’t one of them. If your kid can become excited about other languages and cultures, make friends and learn to be a good friend, she’ll be well rooted for future success. Even if she still struggles with Spanish.

With that said, there are great resources at the school including the teachers and counselors. I encourage you to actively reach out so you can support your kid at home where it makes sense.

While I know quite a number of families have invested in Spanish tutors, I can assure you this is not the norm nor is it required for your kid to succeed.

Good luck - [/quote]
