Question 1

How do Spanish immersion schools work?

Accepted Answer

A Spanish immersion school conducts classes and activities in Spanish. Immersion is a hands-on approach that helps students grasp and learn a language more quickly. For example, our teachers may use visual aids or teach a song in Spanish to make learning more fun and comfortable.

Question 2

What can I expect from a Spanish immersion program?

Accepted Answer

If your child is enrolled in a Spanish immersion language program, they’ll be interacting with teachers and classmates in Spanish. In turn, this can help them adapt to the new language better and learn more quickly. Being a part of an immersion program also lets your child foster appreciation for a different culture. But most importantly, Spanish immersion programs can help give your child an edge when they enter grade school.

Question 3

How young does my child have to be to start Spanish immersion?

Accepted Answer

Your child can start Spanish immersion before they reach age twelve. Immersion schools are a great option if you want your little one to learn Spanish early. Enroll at a Rayito school near you — our Spanish immersion daycare center in Richfield, MN welcomes students from 6 weeks old to five years old.

Question 4

Does your school have a dual immersion program?

Accepted Answer

Our Spanish immersion school in Richfield, MN offers total immersion programs. Total immersion means that we teach in Spanish. Using a single language during class can help your child adapt more quickly and grasp the new language better.

Question 5

Do you offer year-round Spanish immersion programs?

Accepted Answer

Our Infant, Toddler, Preschool, and Kindergarten Prep programs are year-round programs. Your child will learn subjects like math, science, and reading while learning Spanish. On top of that, your child will start to understand and appreciate Spanish culture better. If your child wants to master Spanish during the summer, enroll in our Spanish immersion summer camp.

Question 6

Will immersion affect my child’s native language skills?

Accepted Answer

Language immersion programs promote bilingualism and biliteracy. This means they don’t encourage using target languages over your child’s native language. So by enrolling in Spanish immersion, or any other language immersion program, your child can learn and grasp Spanish while staying fluent in their first language.
