[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They just changed the entry year for the Spanish track. English-only students can now apply to enter in 2nd grade. Before, I believe a student had to be nearly fluent in Spanish to begin WIS at any grade other than PreK or K. [/quote] Not true. There have long been a few opportunities each year (through attrition--often families moving abroad) in grades 1+. Children entering WIS after K can start in the "Spanish as an additional language" program (it's not called "second" language because many of the entering children already have 2 or 3 languages, just not Spanish). Some are able to move quickly into the regular immersion track, and some take longer to get there. I believe this entry point is now available in very small numbers for the French program as well.[/quote] How would this work for a 2nd grader with three years of French immersion already for the French program?
