[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All four of my kids did the partial langauge immersion program at our neighborhood school. We chose to stay in the program instead of move to an AAP center when our oldest was in third grade. We were lucky enough that our school introduced a local AAP program when our second oldest was in third grade, so our younger three kids have gotten the best of both worlds. My two oldest kids (now young adults) are fluent, my third kid is conversational (and has taken the target language classes throughout high school). Our youngest is still in the E.S. immersion program. If you want your kid to learn more than just the vocab or receptive language skills, you really have to support the target language outside of the classroom (our kids' teachers offered suggestions when we asked since we don't speak the language at home), and your kid would benefit from continuing to take the language in middle and high school. That said, vocab and receptive language skills are also great outcomes! It just takes work outside of a classroom to achieve more than that.[/quote]

Agree. 2-way immersion parent whose kids are in HS now[/quote]
