Inventa Academy will incorporate Spanish into the curriculum in two ways:
In the Dual Language Immersion program, half of the instruction and student-teacher interaction is being held in Spanish. Immersion education is an educational model designed to provide students with fluency and literacy in two languages. It offers a unique and two-fold educational opportunity. On one hand, it offers a great environment for English-speaking students who wish to become fluent in Spanish. On the other hand, it supports Spanish language proficiency to Heritage learners. One classroom at each grade level will provide the Spanish language immersion environment, with approximately 50% of daily instruction provided in Spanish. During this time, Spanish is not taught as a subject, but rather it is the language in which instruction is delivered. Students in the Dual Immersion Program receive the same curriculum than regular education students. Grade level teachers work as a team, regardless of the language they use to teach and interact with students.
Students who attend the Dual Language Immersion Program will:
- Regular education (in English) with Spanish as an exploratory class
- Dual Language Immersion (50/50 English/Spanish)
