Start Your Journey

Our program begins in early kindergarten with immersion in French and Spanish. Students attain a strong command of those languages and, beginning in fifth grade, they turn to German as a primary immersion language, yet continue classes in Spanish and French

To help ensure student success, there are two grade ranges where we are able to admit new students: early kindergarten through second grade, where French and Spanish are the focus, and beginning again at fourth, fifth or sixth grade, where German becomes the focus.
