- As our world becomes more interconnected, our ability to communicate in different languages and across cultures becomes more important. Equipping the next generation for success means providing an education that promotes high academic achievement in English as well as in an additional language. With this goal in mind, CCA will be implementing a Spanish immersion program in the elementary school for the 2017-18 school year.
CCA is partnering with add.a.lingua, an organization that develops cutting edge instructional materials, teacher and administrator training, program guidelines, and community engagement specific to dual language immersion education. Participation in the Spanish Immersion program will be open to students in Pre-K4 and Kindergarten in the 2017-2018 school year. An additional grade level will be added to the program in each consecutive year to allow all participants to advance within the program. In Pre-K4 through 2nd grade, students will receive 100% of their academic instruction in Spanish. Specials classes such as STEM, art, music, PE, computers, and drama will continue to be taught in English. Starting in 3rd grade, students will be taught one or more of their academic subjects in English to increase exposure to critical terminology and strategies in both languages.
Calvary Christian Academy believes that students deserve the opportunity to benefit from quality dual immersion opportunities that ensure high proficiency in more than one language at no cost to English language performance. The Spanish immersion program will equip our students to use their gifts and talents to serve a global community.
