[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids will be taught content through their immersion language. I call that immersion. Full immersion? No. Partial immersion? Yes. That's what the information session speakers have told us. [/quote]

They will be offering advanced language and literature classes for those who have been in the immersion curriculum in Elementary School. But that is not the same as teaching math, science, history, etc. in the immersion language, which is what I would call a "dual language program." And for those who aren't fluent in another language--say, who get in via lottery but went to a traditional elementary school--there will be appropriate classes for them, which don't assume fluency in a language. I'm not saying there will be many spots available this way, but those who do get in will do just fine.[/quote]

FYI-per our meetings some of the core subjects withh be taught in the target language.  So, math might be taught in the target language, or maybe history might be taught in the Target language.  They are still working out what subjects (at least half of them) wil be taught in the Target language[/quote]

Honestly, with a child in one of the feeder schools, I don't see how this is possible.  Will the school offer 6 grade math and Algebra I in Spanish, Mandarin, and French.  That's a lot of money.  [/quote]
