[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see pros and coms to the 80-20 model.  The cons would lead me to pass.  Not a hard pass, but a pass nonetheless.[/quote]

It is extremely hard to learn spanish in this environment (monolingual US context). If you want your native english speaking child to have any chance at learning spanish - 80-20 is essential no question.[/quote]

Is the 80 native Spanish or the other way around?[/quote]

It refers to the amount of time being spent teaching in Spanish. 80-20 is most likely everything in Spanish and ELA and specials (not sure if these schools have specials available in Spanish).[/quote]

We are at Claremont and some specials are in Spanish, some are not.  Science is a "special" and that is taught all in Spanish.  PE, Art are in English. Music is split as there is one teacher who speaks spanish and one who does not.

OP, there is  Facebook group called "Friends of Arlington Immersion" which would be a good place to ask your questions. Also if you can find the Escuela Key FB group.  Claremont's is pretty active and people would happily answer your questions.  [/quote]
