We aren't in spanish immersion, but the school does offer a special called STEAM, which my kids really, really like. I've seen the class and it's cool to see that they get to do STEAM projects twice a week.


Both programs have many benefits and reach kids in different ways. I wish there were more opportunities for schools to have both.

Fairview has Mandarin 2x/week (or at least it did; we've since moved). Unfortunately, it's not effective. You really need it every day to learn/understand it and the teacher sucks. My kids dreaded it.
