What is Immersion?

Language Immersion is an approach to foreign language instruction in which the curriculum and  activities are conducted in a foreign language, in this case, Spanish.

This means that Spanish is the medium of instruction for all subjects and activities at Tierra Encantada. Children learn a second language naturally the same way they learn their primary language- by being immersed in their environment. Immersion students acquire the necessary language skills to understand and communicate in Spanish. Immersion is seen as a highly effective way to learn a second language.

Language immersion programs are particularly effective for developing fluency, cultural understanding, and an intuitive grasp of the language’s nuances.
