Fall enrollment and a new program too!
Covenant Christian School is excited to announce the launch of a Spanish immersion program for the 2010-2011 academic year.
What is a Spanish immersion program?
A Spanish immersion program is a unique educational option that teaches native English-speaking children all their academic subjects in Spanish starting in preschool all the way through the fifth grade.
Through fluent teachers educating children in the Spanish language and the various cultures it encompasses, we hope to better fulfill our school's mission, "to partner with Christian parents to equip their children to serve God in His world by providing a Christ-centered,
academically excellent education."
According to the organization with whom Covenant Christian School is working to implement the program, add.a.lingua, students who are well educated in both their native English and a second language not only experience educational benefits such as higher scores on standardized tests in reading, math, and science, but also experience social benefits. Most graduates of immersion programs become citizens who are linguistically and culturally aware with an inherent understanding of the world beyond their own communities. These same graduates become adults with expanded career opportunities in our increasingly shrinking and diverse world market.
